Winter drafts are sneaky. They creep in through small cracks and make your heating system work harder. Here’s how renters can stay draft-free:
1. Report Drafts Quickly
If you notice cool air coming in around doors or windows, let your landlord know. Weatherstripping or seals may need a quick fix.
2. Use Curtains Wisely
Thick curtains can block out cold air at night, and open windows during the day can let in natural warmth.
3. Add Cozy Layers
Area rugs add style and help keep floors warmer. Draft stoppers (if allowed) are another renter-friendly way to block cold air.
4. Keep Doors Closed
Close doors to unused rooms to concentrate heat where you spend the most time.
Bottom Line: Staying warm doesn’t have to mean higher bills. A few smart draft-prevention habits keep your rental comfortable all season.
