The cold of winter is near once again in Mankato, and there are a handful
of things that you could address with 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 few tips to help keep your home warm as we deal with winter for a short while longer.
- Re-caulk
your windows and doors. Caulking can help decrease the
amount of drafts in your home and it may help protect
you from bugs or other unpredictable weather that goes through Mankato. Walk around your home and
make sure there aren’t any gaps or holes, and if there
are, get them handled.
- Check your weather stripping. Check the weather
stripping around your windows and doors, check
for any worn out or torn pieces, getting rid of
old weather stripping where needed. Any pieces 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.
- Purchase
replacement windows. Too straightforward? The truth is
that older windows and windows with single-pane glass typically
aren’t as energy efficient as newer windows. Like almost all
other goods that have been around for a while, improvements in technology have enabled improved energy performance.
Replacement windows and replacement doors are no different, so why not start
saving money on your energy bills now?
- Add
storm doors. Installing storm doors on your home can bring another safeguard for your
home and can help with protection from nasty weather and help reduce
air and moisture leaks.
Of course, there are a host
of other factors that will impact your decision regarding replacement windows, but these are a
couple to start you on the right track. If at any point
