If you’re tired of brutally cold winters and punishingly hot summers driving your utility bills through the roof because you keep the furnace and air conditioner running, your home probably has a problem retaining air. Heated and cooled air from inside your home is leaking out, and cold or hot air from outside is leaking in. Investing in preventing air leaks easily pays for itself within a few short years or even months.
Get New Insulation
Schedule a consultation with insulation installation experts. They’ll examine your home from basement to roof to look at areas where air might be leaking out and to suggest replacing the insulation. Insulation has become more effective at preventing air leaks in recent years, and many homes have insulation that is decades out of date.
Replace Windows
Windows are another source of air leakage, especially if they’re as old as the house. Replace your windows at least once every decade and have a professional seal all of the cracks through which air might escape.
If you plan to enjoy your home for years to come, it’s time to rely on better insulation. Even if you plan to sell the house in the foreseeable future, having new installation will increase your home’s value. Save money this upcoming winter or summer by preventing air leaks today.
