Weather stripping necessary for saving on energy bills

Weather stripping is the metal or rubber seal that goes around the edge of doors and windows as a final protection against snow and rain, hot, and cold. Often, this material needs replacement. Replacing it every few years is a normal maintenance chore. When this maintenance is of high quality, you can save costs on home energy bills and can increase the comfort level in your home.

On its most basic level, high-quality weather stripping can mean drafts and outside air not getting into your house. That means significant utility bill savings and increased comfort. You can save up to 15 percent on these costs. Other benefits are also important,. They include:

  • Cleaner indoor air: Worn weather strips, especially between your living space and the garage, can lead to polluted air in your home. The same is true for broken stripping between living spaces and closets, attics and basements.
  • Less noise: What is true for airwaves is also true for noise. Maintain a peaceful, quiet atmosphere indoors with high-quality, properly installed weather stripping.
  • No window replacement costs: Maintenance of these seals often means you don't have to pay for aging windows early.
  • Pests stay out: If the cold is getting through, it's likely that pests like insects and spiders are too. Good weather stripping can stop that from happening.
