HOW TO STOP YOUR WINDOWS
FROM LEAKING OUTSIDE AIR IN
Fix the seal
When the seals around the windows wither and start cracking they
allow the windows to leak in air from the outside. There could be several
different reasons why this may have happened, other than aging: the
windows might have suffered through a storm and may have had cracks in it
that did not get repaired. In order to repair this, on a windy day look for
where the crack is or where the window seal has been damaged. Make note
of it, and then call the repair person to get it fixed.
Caulk
When you feel that your window might be leaking in a lot more air
than needed, run your finger along the window frame and feel for spaces
through which the hot or cold air might be leaking in. Mark the areas
responsible for the leaks and then caulk these spaces with a caulking gun.
