This year one of the tasks for us is to try to stay on top of our house maintenance concerns, and work on creating some savings to help our budget, wasting less. We have older windows, and every year it feels like there is a good amount of breeze coming through the windows. I can just imagine how much money we are wasting every year to heat the house with this kind of problem. Some people might not even realize it, but their home probably needs weatherization. In fact, almost 2/3 of Americans live in a home that needs it. 
We have decided to start this weekend insulating the window outdoors. We got a Duck® brand Roll-On® Window Insulation Kit, and started application outside. We will be doing all of the windows inside and all the windows we can reach outside. I have commissioned my husband to work on this project. He is generally better with house projects, and he told me that he actually used a similar kit before. Years ago he worked on insulating his house he rented when he was a University student. Back then they had to put together their own kits. The idea of it was the same back then, but putting a kit like that requires a lot more time, and the quality of materials was not the same as Duck® brand Roll-On® Window Insulation Kit came with. My husband was amazed with the quality of the kit he got to use. He was surprised to see that the film already had a pre-taped edge, so it was so easy to apply it. Unfolding the film was also extremely quick and easy, nothing got messed up, or tangled up like any regular plastic wrap would. It was nice that the length of the film was perfect for our window. The double-sided tape supplied was of excellent quality, much better than what my husband bought in the past. I watched my husband and took some pictures as he worked on the window. I was honestly impressed how simple the whole process was to complete, and now that I know the technique, I know I can do any window myself. Now that I have windows insulated, I know I will enjoy my winter in this house more, as I will stay warm and comfortable, and won’t need to worry about energy costs so much as I know I am keeping my home insulated properly. How are you going to save energy with your house this winter? Share your tips in the comments!

We need insulation on our windows, there’s always cold air seeping through!
this would be great for our addition
This would be very helpful for us!
I’d love to win!
I wrap the outdoor faucets with cloth and then put a plastic bag over that and Duck tape it in place, it lasts until the warmer temperatures return.
Could really use this for our windows. Thanks for the chance to win.
We are always looking for new ways to conserve energy - we will be keeping an eye out for drafts and try to seal up the windows. Always hard in an older house!
Sounds like a great Producy
My house (and heating bill) would really benefit from weatherization. I can already feel cold air coming in, and winter isn’t even here yet!
I do something like this with regular saran wrap. I guess I should of made a kit and sold it lol.
This would come in handy for winter months!!
Great post!
I have been wondering what product to use…thank you for the giveaway
We keep the heat a bit low, and wear warm. cozy clothes. I close the registers in the guest room,when we are not using it. We winterize as much as possible, and let the sun in 🙂 A sunny window really warms a room up.
Putting plastic on the windows is so helpful
My windows leak because its an old building. I could really use this.
A very useful product!
We need this so bad!!! I hate having a draft.
We need lots done to our house.
These kits do a remarkable job on older windows.
This would be great for the winter.
This would really help save on energy and actually make it warmer. This is a great idea.
This would be good for weatherizing for winter.
I didn’t think to do something like that. Great tips.
I need insulation around my doors
We always insulate our windows when it gets cold but I don’t think we’ve ever tried Duck brand.
I know when you do it right, it makes such a HUGE difference.
Me too! I live in an old house and can feel the cold draft coming through the cracks along the window
Thank you! I could use this where I live!
Oh we definitely need this, especially with the cold starting!
I really need this for my living room I feel a draft from my front window and it makes it so cold! Chicago is so cold this time of the year.
This would really come in handy around our place
