If you are like most people, you want to do what you can to save money on your energy bills. One way to do that is to prepare your home for winter. Follow these tips to get your home winterized and ready for the cold weather:

Use weather stripping

Weather stripping is used to put around windows and doors and is made to keep the cold weather out in the winter. The weather stripping will seal the doors and the windows not only against the cold air but also the moisture that the cold weather can sometimes bring. You can purchase weather stripping at any home improvement store. Weather stripping is easy to apply and can save you a substantial amount of money in your home energy bills

Caulk around your windows

You should caulk not only the outside of the windows as well as the inside of the windows with proper interior and exterior caulk. This is another job that someone with a little bit of knowledge can accomplish relatively easily. Caulking around your windows is a weekend project, both inside and out. Not only will it keep the draft from seeping out of older windows, but like weather stripping, it will keep moisture out as well.
