You wouldn’t open your windows and doors to the element’s outside, would you? Of course, you wouldn’t! However, you are doing just that by not winter-proofing your home. Winter-proofing includes the following.
- Caulking and sealing any cracks around windowsills and doors, or using weather stripping around the doors and windows
- Making sure that holes are filled in around sinks and appliances
- Making sure there is plenty of insulation in the home and in the attic
- Close vents to rooms that you don’t use. Why would you heat a room that no one has been in for months?
