For Frigid Temps Remember These Tips:
·
Close Cracks: The average home has to close to
one open door of wasted energy at any given time. Typically, the wasted energy
is through a crawl space or attic. Caulk or insulate holes including those
running along seams or interior walls. Don’t be afraid to reapply weather
stripping around windows and doors.
·
Replace Leaky Windows: There are many tax
incentives for replacing windows. Windows are nice for comfort and the look of
the house. Windows and doors are the number one source of energy loss in a
home. They can be the biggest drain on your energy bill.
·
Add Insulation: Over time insulation becomes
compacted and loses its effective ness. Installation costs vary but properly
installed cost savings will be evident. One
last tip, if you have cold floors, add insulation under your floor. It will
definitely keep your house warmer.
