Weather stripping is the band that edges your doors and windows as a way to keep out wet conditions, heat, and cold. In many cases, this barrier wears out and in fact, replacing it every few years is a normal building maintenance task. When this replacement or repair is adequate, you can save money on home energy expenses and can increase the comfort level in your home.

Fundamentally, high-quality weather stripping can mean fewer drafts of outside air getting into your house. That amounts to significant gas and electrity cost savings and more stable temperatures. In fact, our customers report savings of 10-15 percent. Other benefits are also good to know about, but less well understood. They include:

• Safer air quality: Worn out weather stripping, especially between your living space and the garage, can lead to polluted air entering your home. The same is true for broken weather stripping between living spaces and attics, crawlspaces, or utility closets.
• More quiet: What is true for the heat and the chill is also true for noise. Achieve a quiet atmosphere within your home with adequate, professionally installed weather stripping.
• No window replacement costs: Proper maintenance often means you don't have to get new aging doors or windows prematurely.
• Fewer insects: If air is able to get in, it's likely that pests like insects and spiders are too. Good weather stripping can stop them in their tracks.

Replacing your weather stripping on a single door is relatively easy if the door is new, you can find parts and you don't have to cut and measure to find a good fit. But more involved weather stripping tasks can be difficult and can take a lot of time. In fact, doing all your own work can also be dangerous for the health of you and your family, because non-professional repair can compromise indoor air quality.
