Are Your Windows and Doors the Cause of Higher Energy Costs?

Did you know that windows and doors are responsible for 25% – 30% of your energy costs?

When it comes to heating or cooling your home, old, damaged, or improperly installed windows and doors could be a direct culprit as to why you are seeing higher energy bills.

As we approach the winter months, now is the perfect time to ensure that your windows and doors are doing their job!

If your windows and doors are in good condition, there are still a few steps you can take to be sure you are getting the most out of them:

  • Check for air leaks
  • Inspect caulking and weather stripping
  • Add energy-efficient window coverings
  • Add storm windows or doors

Replacement may be your best investment if you are facing more severe circumstances such as damage, rot, or simply old and out-of-date windows or doors.

Remember, even modern, energy-efficient products require proper installation. Selecting a Reliable Contractor is a key factor in making sure your new investment is professionally installed.
