Windows and Siding

These are two home improvements that will save you considerable money year round. Alot of heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer, leak out through your windows and around the foundation of your home. We put in very highly recommended windows in our home and what a difference. We could never look out before during the winter through the old windows. The reason was that they frosted over and were covered with ice and you couldn't see a thing until it warmed up. By adding the new siding, they put more insulation underneath it and this warmed the house quite alot during the winter and helped to keep the air conditioning inside instead of leaking out through the sides of the house. We also blew insulation into the attic and altogether it made a huge difference in our heat and electrical bills. Everyone should take a good look at their homes and see what they can do to improve it. Most electrical companies will come out and do an audit for you to show you where you are losing your heat and air. It pays off in the long run and doesn't take long to pay for itself.
