It is Spring, but that doesn’t mean we are free of the cold days, yet! If you’re looking into improving your own home’s energy efficiency, consider the following projects:
Window Replacement
The U.S. Department of Energy has determined that an average-sized home wastes as much as 30% of its energy through inefficient windows. Remedying this is as simple as going for an energy-efficient window replacement in Everett, WA.
The idea is to minimize thermal transfer, and keep the heat where it counts: inside in the colder months, and outside in the summer. An inefficient window would let the heat seep through, increasing the load on your heating and cooling systems, which consequently results in higher energy bills.
Front Door Replacement
Doors are functionally similar to windows in that they are both installed on openings on the wall, and are therefore potential points for heat egress. But doors do not require as much glass as windows do, so its energy efficiency features depend more on the material. The method of door installation in Seattle, WA, is also different as front doors typically use hinges.
Doors with fiberglass or composite exteriors strike the best balance between energy efficiency, low maintenance, and aesthetics.
