When the cold Colorado air starts creeping in, it’s easy to blame the weather for a chilly home. But if you’ve noticed your heating bills climbing or certain rooms that just never seem to stay warm, your drafty windows may be the real culprit.
Drafty windows allow cold air to seep inside and warm air to escape, forcing your furnace to work overtime to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. The result?
Higher monthly heating costs
Inconsistent room temperatures
Increased wear and tear on your HVAC system
Even small gaps or leaks around your windows can lead to significant energy loss over time. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heat gain and loss through windows are responsible for up to 30% of residential heating and cooling energy use.
