## Common Issues: Condensation & Ice in Dartmouth Winters

Condensation and ice buildup on windows is a widespread problem in Dartmouth due to high humidity and cold temperatures. It occurs when warm indoor air contacts cold glass — older or poorly sealed windows make it worse.

Modern energy-efficient windows keep the glass surface warmer, reducing condensation and preventing ice buildup. A proper window replacement typically solves this problem for 20–25 years while improving comfort and lowering energy bills.
