    How Getting Rid of Drafts Will Help You Save Money Over Time

    The cold season can take its toll on your home in the form of drafts. Drafts, in huge amounts, don’t just jeopardize your comfort, but your energy consumption as well. As soon as cold air gets inside your house, your natural reaction would be to use your heater for a longer period. Recurrent and extended use of heating systems can swell up your energy bill over time. Why tolerate drafts in your home when a lasting solution is at hand?

    As your Connecticut windows expert, we can help you get rid of drafts in a practical way.

    Getting Rid of Drafts

    In order to eliminate drafts in your home, you first need to find where they actually originate. Usually, any holes or gaps in your windows and doors are primary culprits. But here are other areas you can check for drafts:

    • Check for cracks along the edges of your flooring and baseboards.
    • Look for any openings between walls and ceilings.
    • Find out if your electrical outlets and switch plates have any slits or holes.
    • Inspect the sealing or weather-stripping around your windows and doors.
    • Examine your fireplace, attic hatches, and air conditioners.

    Other areas where cold air can penetrate are dryer vents, fans, pipes, foundation seals, and more. Get ahead of your draft problem through regular home inspection and maintenance. We at Renewal by Andersen® of Westchester have a couple of tips to help you get rid of the presence of drafts in your home: (1)You can use covers when not using your fireplace, and (2) another device you can use is a door sweep, to prevent air from seeping through your doorway.
