Okay, please listen to the following facts provided by Energy Star...
- 1/3 of a home's energy loss comes through air leakage
- Only 10% of that leakage happens around windows!!!!
If you house needs some efficiency improvement, try not to begin with the high dollar items (windows, siding, insulation). First, properly seal the house from air leakage. This is not as costly, and can be more cost-effective to notice the biggest difference in you comfort and energy bills. To know where your leaks are, call us or another service provider using blower door and infrared technology. You can make back our cost of service and your cost of proper air sealing in about 12-15 months on average.
After your home is properly sealed, then move to the more high dollar items. If you do this in reverse, you may be tackling a problem you don't have, and you are not allowing your $1,000's of dollars worth of windows, insulation, siding to do their job!
