Best Way to Deal with Drafts: The Long-Term Solution

Old and drafty windows are a major problem. Draftiness may be caused by damage or by improper installation. Air leakage can cause too much excess heat to get into the home during summer and too much cold to get in during winter. Your cooling and heating systems will therefore have a hard time keeping your home’s temperature level comfortable. This will consume more power to generate the comfort you need, raising your electric bill sky-high. Fortunately, there are ways you can fix this problem.

You can try to apply weather stripping or caulk the areas of the window that have gaps, which allow air leakage. You can opt to buy a window insulator kit at your local hardware store, or you can choose a more long-term solution.

The most effective way to deal with drafty windows is to get replacement windows in Massapequa instead. We at Renewal by Andersen® can provide you with the durable windows you need to prevent drafts through precise and up-to-date techniques.

The frames of our windows are made from the advanced material called Fibrex®. This material can resist rotting, fading, and corroding. Because of its ability to resist degradation, it can help your windows to effectively seal your home for a longer period. Another advantage of hiring Renewal by Andersen to handle your windows is the precise installation process of our craftsmen. We will get the exact measurements of your window openings so we can create windows that will fit your home perfectly, which will eliminate gaps along the frame.

Further, we offer numerous grille options and designs, such as double-hung, casement, and sliding windows in Massapequa, so your home can be both energy-efficient and visually appealing.

Say goodbye to drafts with our durable windows, a long-term investment for your home! For more information on window maintenance, window replacement, or our other services, give us at Renewal by Andersen of Long Island a call today.
