Why Door & Window Draft Testing Is Becoming a Must-Do Winter Prep in Alberta
With energy prices rising and cold snaps hitting harder each year, draft testing is one of the fastest-growing home maintenance trends in Calgary and surrounding communities.
🪟 Small Drafts = Big Energy Loss
Even tiny gaps around doors and windows can leak heat all day long. Draft testing identifies:
• failing weatherstripping
• loose frames
• shrinking caulk lines
• cold-air penetration spots
Fixing these small problems quickly lowers your heating bill.
💡 Smart Homeowners Are Doing This Before Winter
Calgary, Cochrane and Bragg Creek homeowners are getting proactive: instead of waiting for cold winds to creep in, they’re sealing everything early.
🛠️ Simple Fixes for Big Comfort
Repairs often include:
• replacing weatherstripping
• recaulking frames
• adjusting loose hinges or latches
• sealing basement window drafts
A few quick adjustments can make a home feel dramatically warmer and more energy-efficient.
