During the winter months, energy moves through the any cracks, the roof and the walls of your home. Cold air can find its way into your home, making keeping your home a difficult and expensive task that wastes an incredible amount of energy.Your home could be losing heat energy in generally one of five places including the ceiling, the walls, the floors, windows and doors as well as through small air leaks. Three times the amount of heat is lost through to air loss and infiltration than is lost through most ceilings. Air leaks in your home can attribute to 35% of heat loss; up to 20% of heat is lost through windows and doors; floors account for up to 18% of heat energy loss; up to 14% of heat is lost through the walls in your home and another 10% is lost through the ceiling.
When attempting to get your home ready for the wintertime, you should begin by taking care of any air leaks and infiltration including doors and windows, then you should consider doing something about the insulation, beginning in the attic. It is cheaper to insulate an attic than it is to insulate the walls of a home, so take care of that first.
