Use landscaping, awnings and overhangs to provide shade around the outside of your home. A shaded house is easier to cool than one in direct sunlight.
Windows make up 10 to 30% of the exterior wall area in a typical home. Inefficient and poorly built windows act like open “holes” in the walls, exposing you to outside conditions.
Weatherization is about reducing air leaks through seams, cracks, and other openings in your home’s exterior.
Did you know that up to 40% of your home’s heat loss takes place due to inadequate insulation? With proper insulation, you could save about $18 monthly (or up to 25%) on your winter heating costs.
