We live in a five year old home with high quality windows. We have noticed ice and moisture on our windows during the winter months, and mold has actually started to grow on some of the frames. What is causing this and is there anything we can do?
Answer: The problem is most likely a lack of proper ventilation. New homes today are built and insulated very well. During the winter months, everyday activities like showering or boiling water introduces humidity into your home and the humidity becomes trapped because of the well insulated home. Renewaire is a company located in Madison, WI and they provide us with a product called an energy recovery ventilator. This product will remove all of the stale, humid air trapped in your home, and replace it with fresh, dry air that is re-heated inside of the ventilators core. This product has a 100% satisfaction guarantee and will protect your windows and air quality for years to come.
