Winterizing Your Windows
Winterizing windows can significantly cut heating costs, according to HomeServe, by following steps such as caulking, weatherstripping, and using insulation kits.
Your windows have a greater impact on winter heating bills than you might realize, with the Energy Department reporting that heat loss through windows accounts for 25% to 30% of residential heating use.
Why Winterize Your Windows?
Winterizing your windows to seal off drafts and improve their insulation value is key to optimizing your home’s energy efficiency, helping to keep you and your family warm while saving money.
Preparing Your Windows
If your windows don’t fully close and seal, they can let moisture and cold air in while allowing warm air to escape. To prepare, open, close, latch, and unlatch your windows to ensure they’re in good working order.
- Clean and lubricate any sticky latches and locks.
- Replace any broken or defective ones.
HomeServe explains how to winterize your windows and help keep you and your family warm during the winter—while saving money month after month.
