SEALING DRAFTS

Cold air can sneak into your home through even the smallest gaps around windows and doors. During a polar vortex, these drafts can make your heating system work overtime, leading to higher energy bills and an uncomfortable indoor environment. Start by checking your windows and doors for any gaps or cracks. You can use a simple candle test: light a candle and hold it near the edges of windows and doors. If the flame flickers, you likely have a draft. Once identified, seal these gaps with weather stripping or draft guards. These simple fixes are affordable and can make a big difference in maintaining a warm and cozy home.

In addition to sealing drafts, consider using heavy curtains or thermal window treatments to provide an extra layer of insulation. These can block out the cold air and retain heat inside your home. Investing time and effort into sealing drafts not only keeps you comfortable during the Arctic chill but also improves your home’s energy efficiency year-round. Don’t let the cold take over—seal those drafts and enjoy a warmer home this winter!
