What To Do If Your Attempts To Stop Window Drafts Didn't Work
A drafty window makes for an uncomfortable home. In winter, the drafts send cold air drifting through your home, causing cold spots and high utility bills. In summer, the cool air you want inside ends up outside as it leaks through those same gaps, again causing high utility bills along with strain in your air conditioning system.
If you've tried to fix these drafts by doing the match test, where you hold a lit match up to see where the leak might be, and then patching that spot, it can be frustrating to find that you still feel those annoying drafts.
