Energy Efficiency is Key for a Comfortable Home

Oct 28, 2022

Fall weather and the smell of pumpkin spice have us thinking about insulation and air sealing. We know the cold weather will soon be setting in and now is the time to ensure energy efficiency in your home and prepare for the colder temperatures ahead. No one wants to suffer through an uncomfortable home nor be wasteful, especially as energy prices continue to increase. Below you will find some ideas of how to achieve a more energy-efficient, comfortable home.

 

Identify air leaks and protect your home for the colder temperatures.

 

  1. Caulk can be your best friend when it comes to air sealing, but which one should you use? Read up on the blog here
  2. Find the air leaks by scheduling a free energy audit, which we can do for you! Learn more here.

  5. Is your heating system working properly? Here are some resources to help you out.
  6. Conserving energy is key, see the impact (below) on the roof of our design project here.
