Home Winterizing Check List

Do one of the following tests to find where cold air is infiltrating your home:

  • Have a person stand outside after dark and shine a strong flashlight around the edges of doors and windows. With the lights turned off inside the house, take note of where the light is visibly shining through to pinpoint areas where cold air is entering the home.
  • Try to slide a sheet of thin cardboard under a door when it is closed. If the cardboard slides under, the gap is large enough for cold air to enter and heat to escape.
  • Move around areas near windows and doors with a burning stick of incense, or a lit candle, and see if the smoke, or flame, is being blown by incoming air or escaping through cracks.

Smart Ideas! Wrap any exposed water pipes, inside and out, with pipe insulation to keep water hot at the points of use.
