re: OT handymen, window question

If the seals are broken in all the windows in a particular area you can have a settlement issue. It does not take much for a seal to break, and if the sashes get out of plumb, it can put pressure on the insulated glazing causing a failure. Once the vacuum is broken the airspace no longer is going to work, so it might as well be a single pane. That would then cause your condensation issues.

The condensation is on the inside and not in between the two panes.

Hate to tell you that any inspector worth his weight will figure out that you have blown seals in those windows. Good luck.
NVM. OP are you talking about condensation between panes or on the inside pane to living areas?

He clarified where the condensation is located. The OP made it seem as if he had condensation in the middle of the window and inside the house.
It's seems to me that if it is this time of year you may have a draft coming from around the windows. This is assuming you are running the heater inside and cold, moist air is coming in then condensating around the window with the sunlight allowing mold to grow.

If it's in the house, with double pane windows, I suspect he has either aluminum windows that the frame is conducting heat, or the seals are so severely gone that the inside pane is conducting the outside temperature to the point condensation is forming.
OP if the windows really are circa 2006 check the manufacturer. There are ofyen5 10,15,20 year warranties. Also, if you do have to replace, you can have someone like "the glass guru" replace just the sealed glass and leave the frames in tact. Much cheaper than changing out entire window units.
