Keep The Cold Air Outside
As homeowners, we all love to tackle projects ourselves that are within our scope of knowledge. Our staff is the same way!
When it comes to the winter chill, addressing the problem right away is crucial to preventing unnecessary heat loss and a higher electrical bill. Check out our tips on some simple ways to keep the cold air out below.
Low-Cost Insulation Ideas
You can still take steps to keep your home warm even if you are short on time. A door snake is a great way to block any drafty doors, and you can even make these at home with a big sock and some stuffing or a blanket.
Even just pulling your curtains across your windows can help keep the cold air from traveling throughout your room.
Another great option is to provide an extra layer of insulation against the elements around your windows, either with foam board or insulation film. Most insulation film has an adhesive side that you can just stick right to your windows. This cheap film can reduce heat loss by up to 10%!
Investigate Your Home
Do you have an area of your home that seems like it is always cold? Take the time to check around the windows, doors and even places like around your electrical outlets. Since each of these areas leads to the outside, they could be the source of your chill.
The investigation might be as simple as running your hands along these areas or adding in another line of caulking, but you can also use a candle! Light a candle and slowly walk with it around your room. If it flickers or goes out, there's a draft somewhere nearby.
The Benefits of Professional Insulation
While DIY-ing your simple insulation needs can help save you time and money, any larger projects can really benefit from a professional touch. Our team can handle the process from start to finish and can ensure the entire insulation is done safely and correctly.
We are the experts in choosing the right material for the job, and we can also remove any old or deteriorating insulation.
When it comes to big projects like insulating an entire level or a new room, getting it done right the first time is crucial! You don’t want your brand-new area to struggle with heat loss or condensation issues.
Leave the job to us! We are up to the task.
