Why is there a draft coming through my windows?

If you notice a cool breeze coming through your windows it means there's an issue with the seal. This could be between frame and wall or glass, so don't forget to check both sides! A properly sealed window retains heat inside but also blocks any escaping cold air - making them great for keeping things cozy on particularly chilly days (or nights).

How do you check for air leaks around windows?

Check your door and window frames for cracks, as well as the caulking around them. And see if you can rattle any of these doors or windows by shaking it side-to-side - movement means possible air leaks!

How do I know if my house is drafty?

Hold a lit candle near one of the windows in your house. If it flickers or goes out, there's drafty airflow right where you're standing!
