Energy-Efficient Replacement Windows in Omaha Advised For Warm Winter

May 30, 2014/in Industry News/by Audrey Heaberlin

The cold drafts that winter brings can make life uncomfortable for many. It is, therefore, critical that homeowners arm their residences with the right kind of protection against inclement weather. Building engineers from Drexel gave tips to keep out the cold and turn up the heat, in the best possible ways.

Among the most beneficial methods that homeowners can do is to fortify their windows and other features of the home against the cold. As posted on Drexel University’s news blog:

“Tightening the envelope: Window insulator kits are widely available at local hardware stores and online. If you have an air-conditioner that is fixed into place year-round, buy an insulating cover to put on it in the winter. Thermal blocks and weather stripping around doors can also help to keep heat inside. Putting plastic sheeting over windows to create a heat seal is another option, but a bit more time consuming.”

Aside from the comfort that these simple methods can provide, homeowners will also be able to reduce their energy bills. Insulating windows and doors reduces the entry and exit points of air and heat, which means that heating and cooling systems will not have to work as hard to maintain ideal indoor temperature.

Should homeowners wish to maximize the advantages offered by insulation, they can ask for the assistance of a professional home improvement contractor such as Waddle Exteriors. Replacement windows in Omaha, for instance, can provide better value where winter-proofing a home is concerned.

Installing energy-efficient windows is an investment that brings in cost savings and optimal comfort for the long term. This is because the materials primarily used in these types of windows are designed to prevent the transfer of hot and cold air, as well as minimize the entry of harmful UV rays into the home.

In addition, trusted NE window replacement contractors such as Waddle Exteriors offer several window styles. In this way, they can address a wide range of budget, aesthetic, and personal requirements. The fact that such home improvement providers are factory-trained by established manufacturers in the country also builds on the rewards from the solution.
