The Department of Energy states that winterizing your home windows can help you save up to 10% on your energy bills, so let’s take a look at some thoughts:
- A cracked window pane is a sure source for the cold outside air to make its way into our home. And the cold temperatures outside can actually put stress on the glass and cause the crack to grow or the window to fail.
- If you have double pane windows that look blurry, it is probably because air has gotten between the window panes and formed condensation. This means that the window is no longer giving you the insulation factor that you expect. This is also a sign that a window should be replaced.
- Check your caulking on a regular basis. Although caulk does not seal a window completely, it does help restrict airflow and can keep out the cold drafts.
- During the winter months, if you feel a cold draft, it is well worth your time to stop and figure out where it is coming from and find a solution to stop the draft. Not only will you save on your energy costs, you will also be more comfortable in your home during the winter months.
