5. Weatherproofing Your Home:
If you are trying to keep your home insulated so you can save money on heating, we recommend sealing drafts, insulating windows and doors, and taking measures to prevent heat loss. These steps are key to making sure you have an insulated home. Some of the most common heat loss areas are your attic, walls, and crawlspaces. Making sure you insulate these areas prevents heat from escaping in the winter and entering in summer. You can use high-quality insulation like spray foam and other kinds of insulation. If you can hear your window rattle, they're letting a lot of heat escape around the frames. If you have concerns, seal these with insulating strips or fill cracks, keeping you warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. If you're having issues with frozen pipes or uneven heating, we recommend insulating areas where pipes can freeze, if your home is a part-time home, there are measures you can take to make your heating system keep your vacation home above freezing with schedules within the thermostat.
