So how do you prepare your home for winter?<\/p>\n If your expectation is the drafty one, then your windows likely need to be replaced. How can you really know if replacing your window would make a big enough difference?<\/p>\n To find out if windows really had an impact on a home\u2019s energy efficiency, we did a window challenge: Single Pane Window vs Triple Pane Window.<\/p>\n The Challenge: Which window is the warmest on a cold winter day?
