How to insulate windows to keep out the cold.

Plastic window insulation kits can save energy on both heating and cooling and lower your utility bills by providing an insulating barrier of trapped air and keeping out any drafts.

To install plastic window insulation kits:

1. Clean the surfaces on the window casing.

2. Apply double-sided tape to the window casing around the perimeter of the inside of the window.

3. Remove the paper backing on the tape.

4. Spread out the sheet of plastic and attach it to the tape with as few wrinkles as possible.

5. Use the heat from a hair blow dryer to shrink the plastic for a tight fit.
