The cold of winter is almost here once again in Greensboro, and there are a handful
of things that you could check on your replacement
windows and
doors to help you take on 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 deal with winter for a bit longer.
- Re-caulk
your windows and doors. Caulking can help decrease the
amount of drafts in your home and it can help protect
you from bugs or other crazy weather that heads to Greensboro. Walk around your home and
be 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, swapping out weather stripping where needed. Any parts that
are worn out or torn could allow cold air to get
in your home and cause the heating and cooling system to work more than it should] 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 almost all
other things that have been around for a
bit, improvements in technology have permitted improved energy performance.
Replacement windows and replacement doors are no different, so why not start
saving money on your energy expenses now?
- Install
storm doors. Adding storm doors on your home can mean
you have another level of defense for your
home and can help with protection from nasty weather and help decrease
air and moisture leaks.
Of course, there are a variety
of other factors that will play in to your decision regarding replacement windows, but these are four to keep you on the right track. If at any point
