How much does putting plastic over windows save?
I'm thinking about putting plastic up over the windows to save on electricity? The bill this month was 275 dollars. Any thoughts on if it's worth doing?

weatherizing is what will save you money, winter or summer.

It certainly keeps the draft out. We do it every year. It is worth the minimal expense.

Electricity or gas?

Who has a fireplace? A lot of heat get's lost through those unless you have an oven

The plastic can help and another thing that helps is make sure the underside of the trailer is covered (underpinning http://www.ehow.com/how_4611443_heat-mobile-home.html) and blocks the wind from blowing under the trailer.

Re: How much does putting plastic over windows sav
Popular Mechanics says each window covered in plastic the can save up to $17 per window during the winter for homes in the North.

Take it from a Canadian!
