6. How To Prevent Window Condensation Here’s a list of 10 ways to get rid of window condensation:

7. 1 2 3 Improve ventilation Maintain warm temp. inside. Keep kitchen and bathroom doors closed Lack of proper ventilation creates a very humid atmosphere that encourages window condensation. By maintaining a warm temperature, even on low settings, you can ensure that surfaces remain well above the dew point so that condensation doesn’t occur. These are the most humid areas of the house, and when you keep them open, you draw moisture from these rooms to the rest of the house

8. 4 5 6 Use lids when cooking Don’t dry laundry inside the house Invest in better insulation Steam is released while cooking, contributing to the moisture in the air. Whenever cooking, use lids to cover pots and prevent steam from escaping too much. Purchase high- performance ENERGY STAR® certified windows, doors, and skylights. These are energy-efficient windows with lesser condensation compared to other models. This can get challenging, especially during the colder months. But drying one full load of damp laundry releases almost 5 pints of water in the air. If you can, dry laundry outside the house

9. 4 5 6 If you have an ERV or HRV unit, make sure it’s turned on Open window drapes and avoid blocking your windows In case of exterior condensation, simply wait for the sun to dry the moisture Heat recovery ventilator (HRV) and energy recovery ventilator (ERV) are mechanical ventilation systems that control internal air humidity and improve ventilation. Closed drapes trap moisture and heat on window panes. They block air movement across glass surfaces allowing cool air to pool at the window sills. Prevent this by keeping drapes open. If you want to prevent exterior condensation, consider placing tall trees and shrubs to create a shaded area near your windows. This traps heat and prevents exterior condensation.

10. Last But Not Least...

11. 10 Replace your windows in case of condensation between panes Condensation between two window panes indicates unit failure. The window unit already has a leak that allowed moisture to get inside the air gap. The sealant could be loose and needs replacement.
