Weatherstripping

Anytime you have an opening to the outdoors, you should have weatherstripping to help keep the cold air out and the warm air in. And replacing weatherstripping that’s overly compressed, worn or ripped weatherstripping is an easy project that will keep your home warm.

Service Your Furnace

Before the temperature dips too much, it’s a good idea to service your furnace. You can do your own furnace maintenance, though you may want to have an HVAC pro check it out for you. At the same time, be sure to check and change the furnace filter to make your furnace run more efficiently, thus directing more warm air to the habitable areas of your home.

Replace Windows

While it may not be cost-effective to replace all of your windows, if you still have single-pane windows, it may be time for a change. Stronger, warmer and easier to operate, newer, double-paned windows will make a noticeable difference in the winter temperature of your home and will keep your home warm.
