消除寒冷

现在是时候消除所有的冷气流了

让你的家在这个冬天保持温暖和节能的简单技巧

房主可以避免房屋所有权的最大痛苦之一:草案。穿水风令人讨厌，因为它会在人们最脆弱的时候悄悄靠近——早晨第一件事就是看一眼窗外，洗完热水澡后用毛巾擦身，或者在前门旁边脱下被雪覆盖的鞋子。全美最大的家装公司之一Handyman Connection的雷竞技下载链接官网app雷raybet官方网站布鲁斯·麦肯齐(Bruce McKenzie)表示，这些草案也会让房主花钱。麦肯齐说:“漏风的门窗会使房主的供暖成本增加20%。”老房子尤其脆弱，但即使是新房子也会在安顿下来的时候出现漏风。麦肯齐建议房主每年至少检查一次门窗，以确定是否有漏风。一旦找到，草稿可以通过一些基本的diy技能来最小化或完全消除。麦肯齐说，最简单和最常见的解决方案是用嵌缝从外面密封窗户。嵌缝在任何家装商店都可以买到。麦肯齐补充说:“确保你的上肩带和下肩带之间的空间是密封的。” Exterior sheeting is another option for sealing windows. While this option may not be as aesthetically pleasing, plastic sheeting is very effective at insulating windows. Pre-fabricated sheeting kits are widely available. Simply follow the manufacturers directions for installing the sheeting. “If you’re uncomfortable on ladders or with your own DIY skills, you should consider hiring a pro to install sheeting,” cautions McKenzie. Around doors, check the weather stripping on the inside of the door frame to ensure that it is still intact and supple enough to provide a tight seal. If you can see gaps, or if the weather stripping is no longer resilient, it’s time for replacement. Materials are readily available, but this installation is a little more difficult. Hiring a professional to install new weather stripping around doors might be a wise option, says McKenzie, “especially considering the money you’ll save by keeping your house sealed tightly.” Other common but often forgotten sources of drafts are the spaces around exterior electrical outlets and faucets. Both caulking and canned foam insulation work well for sealing these spaces. All of these solutions are effective but temporary, McKenzie points out. “Recent technological advances may make it worth your while to consider replacing windows and doors altogether,” he says.
