Lots of PF bloggers have been writing about how to winterize your home to save energy since the weather is getting colder now. Even though we don’t pay our heat or water bills (they are included in our rent), I went out and spent about $15 on buying some of the window kits because our windows are EXTREMELY drafty. We usually spend the entire winter with our heat cranked to make up for the draftiness, but not this year!
Hubby put up the plastic in 2 of the 3 rooms with windows so far (the home office and our bedroom) and I can already tell a HUGE difference. I used to sit at my computer and freeze because my desk is right up against the window…but now there is NO draft. And our bedroom used to be the coldest room in the apartment but now it’s decently warm (although the sheets are still cold when we crawl into bed at night!).
We still have to hang the plastic in the living room, but that won’t take long and I’m sure that will help even more to keep our apartment nice and warm without having to crank the heat up so high.
Definitely a good investment. Let’s just hope the cats don’t blast through the plastic trying to get up in the windowsills to lounge! Or chew on the plastic, as I just saw my kitten doing… *rolls eyes*
although, our cats would LOOOOOOVE eating them too. why do they like plastic so much? weird.
