If your house feels chilly even when the heat is on, you’re not imagining it.
What to do (simple steps)
- Check weather stripping on exterior doors (the rubber seal). Replace if cracked or loose.
- Add a door sweep if you feel air at the bottom of the door.
- Inspect the caulking around windows (the seal between trim and wall).
- Change your furnace filter if it’s due.
Why it matters
- You feel warmer with less heat running (comfort + lower bills)
- Drafts can dry out your home and make it feel harsher
- Small maintenance like this keeps the home showing well if you plan to sell this year
