We spend far less on heating and cooling and appreciate more consistent hot and cold temperatures
When we first bought our home, it had been neglected for quite some time. We needed to make a lot of updates, then one of our biggest concerns was the windows. All of the windows were single-paned and not installed narrow enough. There was insufficient insulation around them, and they allowed outside air to come in. They also allowed our conditioned air to leak out. We had concerns with frigid drafts and extravagant heating bills in the winter. In the summer, we dealt with an excessive amount of bugs and super high electric bills. The oil furnace and air conditioner struggled to achieve comfort. We had the heating and cooling plan tested out by a local Heating and A/C company, who told us they were operating at peak capacity. The issue was the amount of air escaping due to the inefficient windows. Our home is rather large, with twenty-two windows to replace, then some of the windows are quite big, and the project was severely extravagant. Since we wanted to replace them all at once, it took us a while to save up the currency. At least, we were able to handle the upgrade on our own. We spent extra for thermal-paned, Energy Star rated windows and took care to officially insulate and caulk around them. The difference in the efficiency and comfort of our loft was significant. We spend far less on heating and cooling and appreciate more consistent hot and cold temperatures. I don’t need to vacuum or dust as often because the home stays much cleaner. I’m hoping that because we’ve reduced energy losses, the oil furnace and air conditioner will last longer and operate more reliably.
