Carmody Construction: Enhance Winter Energy Efficiency with Roofing, Windows, and Doors

Winter energy efficiency is essential for maintaining a warm, comfortable home while minimizing energy bills. At Carmody Construction, we specialize in roofing, windows, and doors—the key areas that can significantly impact your home’s insulation and energy performance during the colder months. Here’s how upgrading and maintaining these elements can improve your home’s efficiency this winter.

Windows and Doors: Keeping Drafts OutWindows and doors are common culprits for heat loss. Start by inspecting around frames for gaps or cracks, then seal them with weatherstripping or caulk to prevent drafts. Upgrading to energy-efficient windowswith multiple panes, low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, and a low U-factor provides superior insulation and reduces heat transfer.

If replacing windows isn’t an immediate option, adding storm windows offers an extra layer of protection for older windows. For doors, opt for solid-core modelswith high insulation ratings and tight seals to minimize heat escape.

Roofing: Insulate and ProtectYour roof also plays a vital role in keeping your home warm during winter. Proper attic insulation is crucial, as it prevents heat from escaping through the roof. Inspect your attic to ensure insulation is adequate and free of gaps. Regularly check for roof leaks or damage that could compromise insulation and increase energy costs.

You might also consider reflective roof coatings, which help with temperature regulation year-round. By maintaining a well-insulated roof, your home will retain heat more effectively and reduce the strain on your heating system.
