With sub-zero temperatures common during the Upper Valley’s winter months, you may be among the many area homeowners who worry about keeping their families warm.
Weatherizing your home can give you a little less to worry about. By finding and plugging the places where warm air escapes, and cold air comes into, your house, you and your family will spend winter in a warmer, more comfortable home. And weatherization helps you beat the heat in the summer too as your home will stay cooler.
Whether it’s to keep your family warm, make a wise financial investment or protect the environment, weatherizing your home is a smart move.
And with numerous community resources available to help – including low-income assistance and financial incentives – hiring a professional to do the work or doing it yourself has never been easier.
Weatherizing your home can cut the average homeowner’s energy use between 25 and 30 percent.
That translates into annual savings of $800 to $1,000, making your upfront investments in weatherization (supplies, contractor fees, etc.) a pretty good bargain.
