10 Ways You Can Maintain Your Windows in the Winter

Having drafty windows is one of the foremost reasons you experience frigid interior temperatures and sky-high heating costs during the winter. When outside temperatures plummet, there are 10 ways that you can avoid these issues and save on energy costs:

Patch any drafty spots in your windows with weather stripping to make your home feel warmer and save on energy bills.
Seal small cracks by adding a fresh layer of caulk or rope caulk that is molded into the gaps.
Apply window insulation film using double-sided tape to your window panes, and then seal it with heat from a hairdryer.
Use draft snakes to stop cold air from entering and warm air from escaping through the windowsills.
Cut strips of self-stick rubber weather sealing into appropriate sizes and stick the strips to the window frame to close any gaps.
For windows that don’t have to let in light or a view from the outside, like basement windows, you can cover the panes using a piece of foam board attached to 3/8-inch drywall.
Install cellular shades (also known as honeycomb shades) to block light and insulate windows.
Reinforce double-hung windows with an additional sash lock to make them even more secure, which will keep more cold air out.
Use a window insulator kit to increase insulation.
Invest in new energy-efficient windows.

I'm a big fan of HEGG Windows because of their customer service, attention to detail, and amazing communication. I had got several quotes before deciding on HEGG and what helped with my decision was that they are a local company, sales was not pushy, professional, price was reasonable, and communication/follow-ups were so nice. The installers were great and the quality inspection afterwards was helpful - they already found something to fix (hardware replacement) and are on it! I feel really taken care of. Thank you HEGG! Will definitely look for you for more windows in the future.

Probably the best company I’ve ever dealt with for home improvement. We just had a small, one door project and I felt like they treated us like we had a huge whole house window install. Communication was excellent from the company at every step. Final product was high quality, and they even did a follow up inspection to make sure we were satisfied. I will definitely use this company again when the need arises.

Highly recommend Hegg Windows and Doors! Knowledgeable, professional, communicative, great selection, and low pressure sales approach! Recently had sliding doors, 3 season room windows, entry doors replaced. Very happy with end result. The walk-through after installation addressed any questions or adjustments needed. They even caulked and touched up paint inside and out! A rare company built on customer satisfaction.

Laurie D.

The whole team was great to work with. They are skilled in what they do and very professional. We had a small job of replacing just two windows and they did an excellent job. We appreciated the follow up inspection and lessons on how to care for our new windows. Kudos to Josh, Virginia, and the whole team.

Anne B.

Excellent communication from the beginning of the process to the final QA walkthrough after the installation. This is the type of company you WANT to do business with rather than a company you have to work with. Excellent organization!
