New Windows?

With older homes, windows are often one of the largest sources of heat loss in winter due to their low insulating ability and high air leakage rates. Windows are also generally the major source of unwanted heat gain in the summer. As a result, windows are typically net energy losers, and can be responsible for 25 to 50 percent of the energy used to heat and cool homes. However, improved windows, combined with proper consideration of their placement and other details, can result in windows that provide a net energy gain. (NAHB Research Center) Replacing the windows in any home is an investment, however if you have the ability to do so, do it!

A leaky house is expensive.

Air infiltration can account for 30% (in some case more) of a home’s heating and cooling costs and contributes to issues with moisture, dust, and the entry of pollutants and insects. By reducing the amount of air that leaks in and out of your home, you will significantly cut annual heating and cooling costs, improve building durability, and create a healthier indoor environment. Check you leaks!
