Want lower heating bills and a cozier home this winter? If your windows are letting in drafts, your furnace is wasting energy and you’re paying for heat that literally goes out the window. The good news: you don’t have to replace your windows to feel a big difference. A simple winterizing kit and a few checks can seal things up fast.
Why It’s Important to Winterize Windows
Drafty windows do two things you don’t want in winter:
- Make your home feel colder. Even if the thermostat says 70°F, cold air leaking in around windows will create chilly zones and uncomfortable drafts.
- Drive up your energy bills. Your furnace has to work harder to maintain temperature if cold air is constantly entering around leaky frames and sashes.
Energy prices are high, so every bit of heat you keep inside puts money back in your pocket. Winterizing leaky windows is one of the fastest, cheapest ways to improve comfort and reduce energy waste.
Tip: For maximum impact, pair window winterizing with other simple steps like sealing doors, insulating outlets on exterior walls, and checking attic insulation.
