1. Update Old Windows & Patio Doors
One drafty window is equivalent to having a hole in your wall, the size of a brick. With a house full of windows like that, imagine how much harder your furnace or air conditioner needs to work to maintain a comfortable temperature. According to Cornerstone Exteriors, high-performance, energy-efficient windows keeps your home interior quieter, reduces fading of furniture/flooring, and minimizes utility bills. Windows typically comprise 10–25% of a home’s exterior wall area, and can account for 25–50% of heating and cooling needs. With spring cleaning, update your old windows and patio doors.
2. Don’t Neglect your Siding
Siding not only increases value and enhances curb appeal; it protects and insulates your home. Cornerstone Exteriors offers high-quality insulated siding that prevents energy transfer, reduces exterior noise up to 45%, and maintains comfortable interior temperature of your home. Described by developers as “green building”, insulated siding saves energy by up to 20%. At the end of the day, being cozy is what matters.
3. Go Green & Save with Attic Insulation
A commonly overlooked component homeowners oftentimes miss when assessing energy savings is attic insulation. Nearly 40% of energy loss occurs through the attic. To maximize your home’s energy efficiency all year round, Cornerstone Exteriors highly recommends proper insulation. Loose fill fiberglass is an insulation solution that is superior to both cellulose and expanding foam insulation. With this simple step, you will save up to 20% on energy bills and also extend the life of your roof.
The average homeowner spends up $3,000 in utility bills. Imagine all the money and energy going down the drain. Be proactive – let a reputable, EPA Certified home improvement provider like Cornerstone Exteriors offer expertise and help you improve your home’s insulating factor. It’s that simple.
