Warped and damaged sashes are often the culprit here, says Sibley.
Warped sashes would make windows stick, hard to open, and create drafts, he explains.

Your windows and doors.
This can make temperature regulation in your home a year-round battle.
Condensation and Moisture Issues
Not all window condensation is a bad sign.
This can cause increased condensation on cold surfaces like your windows that are exposed to the chilly outside temperatures.
The good news is it might be as simple as lowering the humidity levels within your home.
Outdated, damaged windows are big no-gos for your homes appeal and overall value, says Sibley.
These issues can make it less attractive to potential buyers and thus result in a lower property value.
One option is to keep your existing window frames and simply upgrade the glass, says Sibley.
