More time at home this winter. Get your home cozy before winter hits.

Did you know heat gain and heat loss through windows and doors are responsible for 25%–30% of residential heating and cooling energy use? The cold and dark winter months are when we spend more time indoors and turn up our heating, even more so with COVID. It’s also the time when our energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions go sky high.

If your windows are in good condition, taking steps to improve their efficiency may be the most cost-effective option to increase the comfort of your home and save money on energy costs.

There are several things you can do to improve the efficiency of your existing doors and windows:

• Check existing windows and doors for air leaks.
• Use heavy curtains to stop heat from escaping from your home.
• Purchase funky door snakes from Temple Webster
• Add exterior awnings, external blinds, or overhangs.
• Bubble-wrap windows, say what? A single pane of glass can lose almost ten times as much heat as the same area of an insulated wall. Using bubble wrap to ‘double glaze’ your windows to keep your home warm.
