Everyone wants a house that feels cold in summer and hot in the colder months. Heat can be transferred by convection, conduction or radiation. Fix the problem of a drafty window and doors in order to ensure that your house is properly insulated. Here are some easy and quick fixes that will keep your house insulated and comfortable and save you big bucks.

• One of the best ways to keep your home cool during the hot summer days is by preventing the scorching heat of the sun form entering your house. You can either used long curtains or drapes on your windows or temporarily get them tinted. The best thing you can do with your windows, however, is installing outdoor awnings. This will not only let natural light enter your house but also cut down the entry of undesirable sunlight.
• Gaps around windows are also a root cause of heat entering or escaping the house. Seal these cracks and reduce the entry and leakage of air to and from the house respectively. You can squeeze caulking cords and fill these gaps. You can also place film over the window to seal the glass.
• Electrical outlets also cause cold leakage into the house. Prevent this by using insulation pads and gaskets and stop the cold air from the outdoors to come inside.
