The Importance of Window Maintenance in Cold Weather
As winter approaches, it’s important to make sure your home is ready for the cold. One thing many people forget about is their windows. Well-maintained windows are key to keeping your home warm, energy-efficient, and safe during winter. At Carl’s Fencing, Decking, and Home Improvements, we know how important it is to take care of every part of your home, and that includes your windows.
Cold weather can make window problems worse, like drafts from old seals or condensation that can cause damage. These issues let in cold air and make your heating system work harder, which increases your energy bills. Checking your windows for cracks, damage, or broken seals regularly can help you find problems early before they cost more to fix. Simple fixes like adding new caulk or weatherstripping can improve your home’s energy efficiency.
Maintaining your windows also helps create a healthier home. Drafty windows can let in moisture, which can lead to mold and mildew. These can affect the air quality inside your home and your family’s health. Also, cleaning your windows keeps the sunlight coming in, which can warm up your home naturally and make your rooms brighter during the shorter winter days.
