Bubble Wrap to the Rescue Here is a novel way to use bubble wrap... as a way to cut drafts and heat loss from windows. Molecule by molecule the great heat exchange is upon us once again in the north. Why not try inexpensive bubble wrap for those windows that need just that extra bit of insulation?  Of course visibility is an issue so this might not work on all of your windows... but... it is worth a try in order to minimize costs. http://www.builditsolar.com/Projects/Conservation/bubblewrap.htm http://energyboomer.typepad.com/energyboomer/2007/10/bubble-wrap-you.html?cid=6a00d83451dceb69e2013484e68503970c http://energyboomer.typepad.com/energyboomer/2007/10/bubble-wrap-you.html?cid=6a00d83451dceb69e2013484e68503970c

Window Inserts with a difference As the cold weather approaches here in the Northern Hemisphere I found I was looking for new approaches to insulate windows without the huge expense of new windows. Although I have not personally tried this product, I believe that it would work for those of us who need a low cost product. See and examine for yourselves. Short of triple glazing these removable inserts seem ideal for our climate.  Here is the website. http://windowinserts.com/ "These inserts have really made a difference in my house.. with the excessive winds this year in the Northeast as well as the cold the inserts have really made my house much more comfortable." - Matt W See more Reviews Insulate Your Windows & Save Money Now.
