As cold fronts move down the Front Range and Colorado Springs homeowners turn up the heat, A&L Home Improvement is encouraging residents to take a few minutes to check their windows and exterior doors for drafts.
A&L Home Improvement, which has served homeowners looking for windows and doors colorado springs since 1956, said the first cold weeks of the season are when drafts around older windows and doors become easiest to notice.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building America Solution Center, air leakage through narrow gaps around windows and doors can cause drafts, let in dust, pollen, insects and noise, and lead to heating and cooling losses that raise utility bills.
The guidance suggests simple ways to find leaks, including feeling for drafts with a hand or a piece of tissue, looking for light around an exterior door at night with the porch light on, and closing a door on a dollar bill to see whether it pulls out easily.
The Solution Center notes that weatherstripping can make a home more comfortable while cutting energy costs, and that if significantly colder temperatures are felt around a window or door frame, more than weatherstripping may be needed.
“A lot of drafts can be fixed with new weatherstripping or a little caulk, and we tell people that,” said Chad Anshutz, owner and president of A&L Home Improvement. “But if the frame itself is cold, the glass fogs up or the sashes don’t close tight anymore, that’s usually the window telling you it’s near the end of its life.”
For homeowners who find that their windows are the problem, the company said window replacement colorado springs projects can be planned through the winter for installation as weather allows.
The right product depends on the home, the exposure and the existing openings. Working with an experienced window installer colorado springs homeowners trust helps match the window style and frame to each opening.
Proper installation is just as important as the window itself. Careful window installation colorado springs co includes sealing and insulating around the frame so the new unit performs the way it was designed to.
“Walk the house on the next cold, windy night and feel around every window and door,” Anshutz said. “You’ll know pretty quickly which ones need attention.”
