Another “tip for today” from North Twin Builders for Vilas County homeowners. Take the time to walk around your home and make sure the windows are locked / latched and secure.
This is important not only for security purposes but air infiltration. Many times, we will go to homes to perform some work for the client or simply check on the home for the homeowner to find the windows are not completely closed.
By not latching them, the weatherstrip is not functioning properly and the window will leak air and cause higher heating bills. With the long, cold winters we have here in Vilas County, it’s important to do everything you can to keep those heating bills down and protect your home from the cold.
A few short minutes will make your home secure and more airtight for the cold winter ahead!
