We made it through the winter, thank goodness! Notice any cold or drafty spots in your home this past winter? Improving insulation levels and dealing with drafty areas can substantially improve the thermal efficiency of your home and save you LOTS of money. Utility companies usually offer attractive rebate incentives for improving thermal efficiency (e.g., insulation, windows, appliances, heating systems, etc.) that are certainly worth pursuing; make sure to take advantage of these rebates!
Your home can even be tested for thermal efficiency with blower door testing (tests for air leakage) and infrared thermography (identifies cold spots). These high-tech tools help locate problematic, costly heat loss areas in your home. A qualified professional can help you identify no-brainer, cost-effective solutions that will save your pocketbook in the long run and—as a nice perk—help our environment!
