- Door Installation/Replacement
- New Construction
- Window Installation/ReplacementTo be sure you’re using the most energy efficiency and air tight products on the market, keep your eyes peeled for the ENERGY STAR label.
- InsulationTo minimize heat loss through the walls, you have to insulate them! The higher the R-value of your insulation materials, the less heat will be lost. To minimize heat via convection, you have to air seal (see step 3).
- CaulkingEnsuring that vapor barriers (clear plastic on the inside of your walls) and air barriers (white/grey fabric on the outside of your walls) are installed correctly during construction will pay big energy savings down the road. One way to ensure your walls are air tight is by getting a blower door test. This will identify any leaky areas and allow you to repair them before you finish the construction! You can also maintain your home through time with regular maintenance and caulking.
