*A local furniture store installed a new roof mounted natural gas heating system. During these cold days there is a build up of condensation on the windows. Any ideas on what the problem is and what the solution would be?

*I believe the windows are single pane. The type used in stores. I will check to make sure. This problem didn't exist when the heating system was in the store hanging from the ceiling.
*The heating system is gas. The only difference is that this heating system is roof mounted with the air for heating is recirculated from the show room. The older sytem was mounted from the ceiling and the flame could be seen when looking up at the heater. I don't know if a humidifier was installed or not.If you have a car that allows you to recirculate the air inside the car while the heater is on the windows will fog up. If you recirculate outside air into the heating system, the windows will clear up almost immediately. This is similar to what is going on with the store windows as far as them getting fogged up.
