The dead of winter is almost here once again in Decatur, and there are a few things that you could check on your replacement
windows and
doors to help you stay comfy during the long winter.
Whether it’s caulking your windows or doors or adding a storm door, here are a handful
of tips to help keep your home comfortable as we put up with winter for a short while longer.
- Re-caulk
your windows and doors. Caulking can help reduce the
amount of drafts in your home and it might help protect
you from bugs or other unpredictable weather that heads to Decatur. Walk around your home and
be sure there aren’t any gaps or holes, and if there
are, get them taken care of.
- Inspect your weather stripping. Look at the weather
stripping around your windows and doors, keep an eye out
for any worn out or torn pieces, replacing weather stripping where needed. Any parts that
are worn out or torn can allow cold air to get
in your home and cause the heating and cooling system to work more
often] because of that lost warm air.
- Get
replacement windows. Too direct? The truth is
that older windows and windows with single-pane glass typically
aren’t as energy efficient as newer windows. Like most
other products that have been around for a
bit, improvements in technology have allowed
for increased energy performance.
Replacement windows and replacement doors are no different, so why not start
saving money on your energy expenses now?
- Get
storm doors. Adding storm doors on your home can add another safeguard for your
home and can help with protection from bad weather and help lower
air and moisture leaks.
Of course, there are a number
of other things that will impact your decision regarding replacement windows, but these are four to keep you on the right track. If at any point
