Now Is The Time to Seal Those Drafty Windows

Before the winter chill arrives!

With winter weather on the way, now is the time to seal drafty windows. If you can see daylight around a window frame or if you can rattle a window (movement means possible leaks), the window likely needs to be sealed.

Most window leaks can be sealed with caulk or weatherstripping, which come in a variety of compounds and materials. Visit energy.gov/energysaver to learn how and where to seal air leaks.
