It is possible to feel draughts of cool air coming from your steel doors and windows as winter approaches quickly. According to the Energy Efficiency Agency, heating bills account about 60% of your home's annual energy costs, which is easily at least $1,000. Simple tasks that need to be completed before the cold season can save a considerable sum of money.

Your doors and PVC windows require only minimal upkeep. These products won't need to be painted, stained, or given any kind of protection. They can be cleaned using water and a mild cleaning agent, such as dish soap. Dry silicone or items with a teflon base can be used to lubricate hinges.

Stell door hinges should be greased once a year, in the fall, by following this easy process: Put the pin back on after removing the pin one hinge at a time and putting a thin coat of grease on it. Follow the steps again for each hinge.

Check all door weatherstripping for potential damage, as well as all window seals for potential dryness, tearing, splitting, or even total loss.

Finally, it is advised to take down all interior screens for the entire winter.
