Before you replace the windows or the furnace, it’s worth finding out what’s actually making that room cold. 🏠
🔍 Find the real problem. A professional home energy assessment, sometimes called an energy audit, looks at how your home uses and loses energy and ends with a list of suggested improvements.
🌬️ Seal the leaks first. If the assessment turns up air leaks and thin insulation, that’s a natural place to start. EPA’s modeling estimates that air sealing and insulation together can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs in typical existing US homes.
📏 Then size the system. A tighter, better-insulated house needs less heating and cooling, which can change the size of the equipment you’d buy later.
🪟 Look twice at the windows. If they’re otherwise in good shape, weatherstripping or a storm window may be worth pricing out alongside a full replacement.
Some homes will need bigger work, and the assessment is how you’ll know.
