Preparing for Winter Weather with Replacement Doors and Windows in Ketchum, ID

Colder months in Ketchum can bring about circumstances that can make our replacement doors and windows work a lot more often than they should have to. That’s why we’ve assembled a few pointers that you can take care of now to help prep your home for the remainder of winter. 

• Update your front door: Drafty doors can mean higher costs on your monthly costs and a less than comfortable home. Replacement doors may help you improve your energy efficiency and help protect your home from the weather in Ketchum.
  
  
• Perform an energy audit: An energy audit may sound a bit overwhelming, but it’s as easy as walking around your home and making sure that all of your doors and windows are operating appropriately. Look at the the weather stripping and caulking, as leaky doors and windows can mean a decrease in your home’s energy efficiency and an uptick in your monthly energy bills.
  
  
• Exchange old windows: Whether it’s because they’re merely old or if it’s because they’re only composed of single-pane glass, you might save more than you’d think by switching out your old windows out with newer, more efficient windows. Replacement windows that feature double-pane or triple-pane glass have better overall efficiency and can help you save throughout the year.

Chilly weather in Ketchum can vary quickly, which is why it’s important to be ahead of the curve and have your home prepped for anything that gets sent your way. Replacement doors and windows can play an important role in helping to keep your homes comfortable and efficient.
