Winter is Here - Is Your Home Tight?

December 21st. The first day of Winter.  Hopefully as we venture forth into the winter your home is already prepared for the colder months and you won't be seeing money fly out the window (or door or roof) due to an poorly sealed and insulated home.

Check out this seven minute overview of the Building Envelope (done in 2010).

The Department of Energy and Energy Star have indicated that sealing and insulating the envelope of your home (walls, ceilings, windows, doors and floors)  is the most cost effective way to improve energy efficiency.


Another reason to think about the building envelope.   Resale!  Home buyers are looking for ways to save on their investment.  And if they have the option of choosing a home that has been well cared for and is more energy efficient which home do you think they would choose (all other things being equal).

Welcome to winter - Stay Warm!
