The middle of winter is upon
us once again in Syracuse, and there are a couple things that you could check on your replacement
windows and
doors to help you ride out 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 little while 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 unpredictable weather that heads to Syracuse. Walk around your home and
make sure there aren’t any gaps or holes, and if there
are, get them filled.
- Inspect your weather stripping. Inspect the weather
stripping around your windows and doors, keep an eye out
for any worn out or torn pieces, swapping out weather stripping where needed. Any sections 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 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 usually
aren’t as energy efficient as newer windows. Like almost all
other goods that have been around for a while, improvements in technology have allowed
for better 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 barrier to your
home and can help with protection from bad weather and help decrease
air and moisture leaks.
Of course, there are a host
of other things that will play in to your decision regarding replacement windows, but these are a
couple to keep you on the right track. If at any point
