Winter is here, and NGM Property Services makes sure your home is warm, cozy, and energy-efficient!  By weatherizing your home, you can keep the cold air out, reduce energy costs, and help protect your home from the elements. Here are five simple steps to get started!

Find and Fix Drafts

Drafts let cold air in, making your heating work harder. Here’s how to spot and seal them:

Use a candle or incense stick to find drafts around windows and doors. If the flame flickers, you’ve found a draft!

Check around pipes, wires, and any other openings.

Use weatherstripping or caulk to seal up any gaps you find.

Boost Your Insulation

Good insulation is key to keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer.

Add insulation to your attic to stop heat from escaping.

If you have an older home, add insulation to the walls for a big energy boost.

Don’t forget the basement or crawl space! Insulating these areas can make a big difference.

Upgrade Windows and Doors

Old windows and doors let cold air slip in. Here’s what you can do:

Replace single-pane windows with energy-efficient, double-pane ones.

Add storm windows or use window film for an extra layer of protection.  Let's not forget those garage doors too!

Install weatherstripping on doors or upgrade to energy-efficient models.

Tune-Up Your Heating System

An efficient heating system saves money and keeps you warmer!

If your HVAC system is old, consider upgrading to a new, energy-efficient model.

Regular maintenance will keep your system running smoothly.

A programmable thermostat is a smart way to control heating costs and stay comfortable.

Consider Solar Panels

Solar panels are a great way to reduce energy costs and help the environment!

Solar panel prices are more affordable than ever, with many states offering tax credits.

Do some research to find a trusted solar installer in your area.
