Cold-Climate Window Tips

• Install exterior or interior storm windows; storm windows can reduce heat loss through your windows by 25% to 50%. Storm windows should have weatherstripping at all moveable joints; be made of strong, durable materials; and have interlocking or overlapping joints. Low-e storm windows save even more energy.
  
  
• Repair and weatherize your current storm windows, if necessary.
  
  
• You can save 10% or more on your energy bill just by reducing the air leaks in your home.
  
  
• Install tight-fitting, insulating window shades on windows that feel drafty after weatherizing.
  
  
• Close your curtains and shades at night; open them during the day.
  
  
• Keep windows on the south side of your house clean to maximize solar gain.
