Experts Advise Weatherizing Home To Substantially Decrease Energy Costs
Homeowners could save 20% or more on energy bills, sources say.
Add new energy efficient windows.
Old windows are drafty and add dollars to your heating bill. New double pane or energy efficient windows such as ENERGY STAR or Low-E are
worth the investment to drive down your high energy costs.
Replace your heating unit.
Have a HVAC professional tune your heating unit and spot potential issues that may cause headaches when the temperature drops.
Your HVAC pro can also recommend energy efficient heating systems and provide you with a quote.
Have your siding inspected.
Damaged siding can cause air leakage, leading to cold rooms and higher bills. Before the snow sets in, have the exterior of your home checked
for cracks and trouble spots.
Add some color; paint your interior.
Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean you can't still complete projects inside. Changing up paint colors throughout your
home is a great winter project and adds value to your home. Talk to a painting pro about colors and treatments.
Check out your roof.
Damaged shingles and clogged gutters could cause problems for you during the winter months. Contact a roofing contractor to
make sure your roof is in good shape.
Plan a remodel.
Wintertime is a great time to begin planning a remodeling project. Remodelers are are ready to talk with you about your
ideas and help you get ready to start your project when the weather warms up.
