Windy Days Expose Your Energy Leaks

Windy winter days are when you really notice where your energy leaks are. If your curtains and blinds billow or your shutters rattle on windy days it’s a sure-sign that you are losing a lot of heat. The first thing to do is check that all your windows are tightly closed and locked. Then inspect the weather stripping to be sure it isn’t worn, brittle, or damaged. If you need to winterize your windows there are kits available at home improvement stores that make it east. The cost is low compared to the price of heat that escapes out your leaks. And don’t forget to check your patio doors too!
