Making Windows More Energy Efficient
When we come out for a free estimate, we can help diagnose whether we think you need replacement windows, and we can help you learn how to make your windows work better.
There are a number of ways to make your windows more energy efficient without committing to expensive replacement windows. Frank's Mr. Plumber can help you decide which upgrades are best for your situation.
- Caulk the trim around each window. Sometimes this air-sealing step is all that's required to stop air leakage around each window.
- Seal and insulate the shim space. To access the shim space, the window casing (trim) will need to be removed. The same casing can usually be reinstalled after sealing and insulating are done.
- Add weatherstripping. If your windows are loose in their jambs or don't close securely, this upgrade will reduce energy loss significantly. We will determine which types of weatherstripping are compatible with your windows, and then properly install the weatherstripping to help make your windows perform better.
- Add storm windows. If your existing windows are single pane windows, you should consider adding storm windows. We can install storm windows that will help you reduce heat loss.
