A fogged window is a failed seal, not dirty glass. Whitby runs a double-glazed unit through humid summers off Lake Ontario and deep-freeze winters, and that annual pumping eventually breaks the perimeter seal down. Once it goes, moisture gets between the panes, the argon fill is gone, and the haze you can see is the visible half of a window that has quietly stopped insulating. Most owners notice in spring, when the sun makes the misting obvious across a whole elevation at once.
This is our steadiest residential call in Whitby, and the reason is arithmetic: the subdivisions that filled Rolling Acres, Taunton North, Williamsburg and Whitby Shores through the 1990s and 2000s are all now past the age at which sealed units start giving up. We measure the unit, confirm the glass make-up, spacer and low-e coating, and swap the insulated glass unit alone — frame, sash and hardware stay exactly where they are. It is worth booking before the heating season rather than during it.

Sealed Unit and Fogged Thermal Pane Replacement — your questions
Why is my window fogged between the panes?
The perimeter seal on the insulated glass unit has failed, letting humid air in between the panes. The condensation you can see is the symptom; the real loss is the insulating gas and the thermal performance you paid for. Cleaning the glass will not touch it, because the moisture is sealed inside the unit.
Can a fogged unit be defogged instead of replaced?
Some outfits drill and vent the unit to clear the visible haze. It can improve how the window looks, but it does not restore the seal or the insulating gas, and the unit stays vented to outside air afterwards. If you want the window performing as a sealed double-glazed unit again, the unit itself has to be replaced.
Do I have to replace the whole window?
Usually not. In most Whitby homes the vinyl or aluminum frame and sash outlive the sealed unit by decades, so we replace only the glass unit inside them. We check the frame, drainage and gaskets while we are there and tell you honestly if a full window is genuinely the better call.
