Low-Cost and Big-Ticket Ways to Make Your Home More Energy-Efficient

Seal Your Windows

When you walk through your home, do you feel a temperature change? Improper installation and broken seals in windows and door frames can result in major temperature changes. Whether it’s heat loss during the chilly winter months or cool air during the hot summer months, cracks and broken seals can cost you a lot of money. Older window styles and designs are made with aluminum and single panes, which are not energy efficient. If possible always choose windows that are double pane or vinyl frame. Aside from properly sealing your windows, you can also have them tinted! Having tinted windows saves tons of energy and still allows you to open the blinds and curtains to allow sunlight to flow through your home. Sunlight is an absolutely free agent for heat!
