A large front room with original glass can feel cold when sashes don't meet or weatherstrip is gone. That's a window service visit. It is not proof that the furnace is failing, and this page will not sell a furnace.

Feel for air at the meeting rail and the lock. Those are mechanical problems with mechanical fixes.

A later, planned visit can also look at the front door in the same wall, which often shares the draft.

We will not invent a percentage of heat loss. We'll tell you whether the openings can be made to close.

Edgewood meeting rails have the same mechanical diagnosis — Edgewood window and door repair — and a planned visit can include the front door in the same wall if it shares the draft.

A broken first-floor pane is still an opening to secure; use emergency board-up before anyone argues about weatherstrip.
