As winter settles in, your windows play a bigger role than you might think in keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient. Cold drafts don’t just make rooms chilly — they can quietly drive up your energy bills too. A little seasonal maintenance now can go a long way all winter long.
Start by checking for drafts around window frames. Sealing small gaps with weatherstripping or caulk can significantly reduce heat loss. Next, inspect the glass itself for cracks or broken panes, which can let cold air sneak in and warm air escape.
Don’t forget the details — cleaning window tracks and locks helps ensure smooth operation and a tight seal when windows are closed. For extra warmth and insulation, consider adding insulating window film or thermal curtains, which can make a noticeable difference on especially cold days.
💬 A bit of window care now means a cozier home, lower energy costs, and fewer winter headaches later.
