Drafty windows can be a source of discomfort, energy loss, and moisture problems. These issues, while equally concerning, pose varying degrees of risk. For example, dampness can promote mold and decay, while energy loss can cause an increase in your monthly heating and cooling costs.
Your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit will not perform optimally while trying to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout your home or office. You may even experience differences in room temperature – particularly if not all windows have leaks. The best solution for this potentially costing problem is window seal.
Have Your Windows Inspected
Many factors can contribute to drafty windows, including improper installation and aging sealant, making it difficult to assess the exact cause. That is why having the windows inspected by an experienced and licensed sealant company is an excellent idea.
Another good idea to consider is having an energy audit completed. These services help you identify your energy consumption habits and, using specialized equipment, where your home is losing energy. The auditor will then provide you with recommendations for improvement projects designed to increase efficiency.
One such project that the EPA estimates can save homeowners an average of 15 percent on heating and cooling costs is air sealing. Having window seal professionally installed can benefit you by preventing wasted air from moving in undesired directions.
A professionally installed window seal’s additional benefits include reduced noise pollution, pest infiltration, and mold growth risk. It can also improve your comfort and limit allergens and pollutants from entering through the leaks, helping to improving indoor air quality. The pros also have access to professional-grade, high-quality materials designed for longevity.
