Question because I don't know and havent experienced this before.
We bought our property and did a sizeable remodel before moving in. House was built in 2008'ish with original double pane windows. THey are probably builder grade and nothing fancy. We were going to replace all windows during the remodel but decided to hold off on the additional $60K expense at that time and will be doing new windows in the next couple years.
One of my non-negotiables in life is keeping our house cool/cold in the summer months. AC is typically set at 70 during the day and 66 overnight. Just how it is and I won't change that. Every morning in the summer with the high heat and humidity our windows have a ton of condensate on the exterior of the outside window pane. Is this due to the poor quality of the current windows and lack of "gas" bewtween the window panes and the difference between the AC'd interior of the house and the outside temp/humidity? If/when we replace with quality windows will this moisture buildup on the outside window panes go away? BTW, in the winter when it gets really cold we do get frost buildup on some of the aluminum frames on the inside of the house. We know our current windows are crap but hoping this goes away once we drop some coin on new windows all around.
