Stay warm this winter without it costing a fortune by doing the following things to your Minneapolis home.

Super Easy Things to Do to Winterize Your Home

When winterizing your home, the goal is to seal up the house so that cold air from the outside is less likely to get inside. Some things you will want to consider doing to keep the cold air out and the warm air in include:

  • Replace curtains with heavy curtains — The heavier curtains act like insulation and can create a barrier between the cold air outside and the warm inside.
  • Use caulking to seal any cracks or gaps around doors, windows, and air ducts — It is important to seal any cracks or gaps around windows and doors. If you are unsure what to do, One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning can help provide you with hacks for caulking that will help you keep the cold air outside.
  • Prevent water pipes from freezing — A burst water pipe will not only cost you a lot in repairs, but it can raise your water bill and heating bill.
  • Keep out cold drafts by weatherstripping your storm doors and windows — This prevents the cold air from getting in through large gaps around your doors and windows.
