. Sometimes there is that one room in your home you’d love to hang out in, but you hesitate during this time of year. Why? Because it’s drafty. And it’s February. Realtor.com’s Geraldine Campbell says while you may think of drafty rooms as a minor inconvenience during the chillier months, they’re a sign that your home is poorly insulated. “A poorly insulated home is an inefficient one all year round,” she adds, citing ways to make your drafty room warmer — from minor fixes for immediate relief to longer-term solutions that will almost certainly decrease your utility bills. The cheapest and easiest fix? Seal your doors and windows. Drafty rooms are often the result of aging and/or poorly installed windows and doors. Deterioration is marked by gaps, allowing warm indoor air to escape. So weather-strip away and add door sweeps around windows and underneath doors. It’s a small-scale solution, but can work to seal out drafts, ensuring stable temperatures within your home. Experts remind you before installing weatherstripping you’ll want to make sure to remove any window air conditioners or anything propping windows open. And tape around doors you don’t use in the winter. Want to find out where all that cold air is coming from? It might not even be your windows and doors. It might be your attic or crawl spaces. Even your outlets or recessed lighting could be to blame. To determine the source of the cold air, hire a professional to perform a blower door test to reveal leaks and identify low-hanging fruit.
