Energy Efficiency Audits

An energy audit to your home can be a great first step to improve its comfort or to get energy savings.

You can contract a professional energy auditor, but you can also get help from some online free software or perform a diligent DIY energy auditing.

Do not buy single pane windows. They are extremely energy inneficient.

New Energy Star and other qualified windows can save you thousands of dollars over their lifetime… Prefer new energy efficient doors, windows and skylights. Avoid some energy-efficiency pitfalls like patio doors, or assess the true importance of storm windows and storm doors.
