Simple daily habits can make your home more comfortable in the winter.
In the morning, open the curtains and blinds on south-facing windows to let in sunlight and naturally heat your home. Be sure to close them again at night.
The type of window covering you choose matters as well. Tightly installed cellular shades can reduce heat loss through windows by about 40%, whereas most average draperies will reduce heat loss by up to 10%.
Whichever window covering you choose, good opening and closing habits and careful installation will help maximize your home’s comfort and reduce energy use.
