Stop burning cash to keep warm!!

With the mercury dropping to minus 40 Celsius in Winnipeg and everywhere else in Manitoba; its cold out there!! Terribly cold!!  The common question that I have been getting is how do we keep our homes warm in this type of weather? 

Well, the answer is an easy on. Try to cut as many drafts as possible and that will keep old man winter outside where he belongs. 

First thing to do is grab a Tony Marino Team notepad and pen walk around your home and access what needs to be done.  

Now you are probably thinking where do I start?  Well, allow me to help. 

Windows:

When it comes to windows if you have an older set of windows, think about replacing them when you can afford to do so; but as an inexpensive alternate, think about putting plastic film up, that will help you save some money. The plastic film is available at any hardware store and comes in different sizes. 

Insulation: 

If you haven’t done so insulate your basement.  Here in Manitoba, Manitoba hydro is giving you rebates on insulating your basement (check with them to see if you qualify for the program),  R12 in the basement was the standard, but some people will go up to R20 and some will even do more.  Check with local building codes to see how they prefer your frost walls to be built in the basement. 

Weather stripping:

If it’s worn, replace it. That little piece of foam or rubber is so important in keeping the drafts out at doors or windows.  They make gaskets for plugs and light switches and they are easy to install. They are sold in hardware stores usually in the same isle as the gaskets.

Caulking or silicone:

Not only do these products keep out water but they stop drafts from coming in to your home. You should think about caulking around your windows, doors and at baseboards.

A very useful resource is going to Manitoba Hydro’s website and look for any power smart program brochures that they may have on line. They are very helpful.
