Check Your Insulation

Take a peak in your basement and your attic. If your foundation walls are uninsulated, cold air will press into your home all winter long, chilling your floors and driving your heating bills up. If your attic has a mishmash of insulation or dirty fiberglass, warm air will leak out, causing ice dams and costing you money. Call Evergreen Home Performance to make sure your home is well-insulated this winter.

Make Sure Your Home is Air Sealed
Your insulation can’t do its job if air leaks and drafts are letting warm air quickly escape. Dedicated homeowners can DIY some leaks, but others are hidden. Expert energy advisors and field technicians from Evergreen Home Performance know where to look and how to tighten up your home for maximum efficiency.

Prep Your Windows
Old, leaky windows are a major source of heat loss, but Integrity Windows and Doors are Built to Perform®. Durable, beautiful, and energy efficient, these windows will increase your home’s value AND make you more comfortable all year round.

Program Your Thermostat
Thermostats control when your burner fires, switching the heat on and off to maintain a set temperature. Energy experts recommend scheduling setbacks of 8° at night and while you’re out of the house all day, and a programmable thermostat can automate those setbacks, making it easier than ever to achieve those savings.

Take Advantage of Solar Gain
Open your curtains during the day to let the sun warm your home, but pull those curtains closed as soon as the sun sets!
