Getting ready for winter? tips to keep your energy bill down.

Now that winter is almost here, there are several things you can do to keep your energy costs from rising.

1. Install self-adhesive rubber strips at your local hardware store to keep out drafts.

2. Use heavy layered curtains on your doors and windows  to keep the drafts out.

3. Draft snakes, when carefully placed, can also prevent cold air from creeping in.

4. Install insulating shades (aka cellular shades). These will keep your house warmer.

Maintaining your Wizard Screen doors and windows

Use a household glass cleaner or a mild detergent & warm water mixture to clean your door/window.
A soft cloth or a paper towel can be used for drying, but do not completely dry it.

For household cleaners, use Windex, 409 or Fantastik. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Never use Acetone or products containing bleach, esters, ethers, ketones, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

For hinges use a silicone spray lubricant or lithium-based oil.
