A lot of people enjoy the snow and fun holidays that come with it, but sometimes the cold comes into the house and makes everyone inside miserable. Here are a few different ways to insulate your house this winter.

1. Lock Your Windows and Apply Weatherstripping

Chances are that once the windows close in October or November, you won’t be opening them back up until spring. Just because they are closed, doesn’t mean they will keep all the cold air out. There are several different types of weatherstrips that should work with your windows. 2. Weatherproof Your Exterior Doors

Even the smallest gap in doors can bring in a lot of cold air. You can add door sweeps to the bottom of your doors and weatherstrips along the sides. 3. Reglaze Loose Window Panes

If you have old wood window panes, check for chunks missing or loose panes. Try to have it fixed before temperatures reach below fifty. 4. Layer Your Window Treatments

Hanging sheer curtains and heavy drapes will provide great protection for every type of weather. When it is frigid outside, keeping everything closed will help keep the cold from coming in. 5. Check for Gaps in Windows

If you do find gaps in your windows, fill them with a gap filler. There are a few different brands and types that you can choose from. 6. Temporary Caulk

You can buy some temporary caulk to seal cracks. It comes in a tube like regular caulk, so make sure to look at the fine print to make sure you got the right type.

These are just a few different ways to help keep your house warm during the winter. Stay cozy!
