Your home is made up of a lot of little parts. There are walls, electrical wires, pipes, floor boards and other Restorations. Of course, you also have doors and windows. All of those parts work together to create a fully-operating house. When you see your energy bills rising with no end in sight, which one of the many parts is to blame? Here are a few possibilities to check out.
HVAC System
When your energy bills are rising and your Brentwood, MO home never feels warm or cool anymore, you may automatically blame your HVAC system. It may very well have something to do with the issue. An old system has to work harder and harder to cool and heat effectively. When it works harder, it raises your bills. And it still might not be totally effective. It is a good idea to have a professional come out and check over your unit to see if there are small issues that can be resolved to make the unit efficient again. If not, you may need to replace it to stop wasting so much energy.
Windows
The windows in your walls take up a lot of space when you think about it. If each one has a small leak, that can really kill your energy bills. Windows that leak could be broken, warped, rotting, or have another issue. It is best to replace old windows with new ones that are sealed tight to your home and energy efficient. No air can leak in any direction once they’re installed.
Doors
You don’t have as many doors on your home as you do windows, but they can still leak a lot of air in and out. If your doors have drafts, they could be solely to blame for your energy issues. Getting new doors with a strong, tight material that will act as an energy efficient buffer between your home and the winter and summer temperatures outside can make a huge difference.
