Dec. 21, 2012 - PRLog -- As winter sets in, everyone is feeling the effects of the colder weather. Just like we dress warmer to go outside, you can improve your indoor comfort and save money by dressing your home for the changing weather. Not only will it give you more comfort inside your home, but it can save you plenty of money to help with those holiday bills. What should you do, insulate, weatherize, or hire a “Home Performance” contractor?

Readers should not be confused by statements that say “improving the energy efficiency of a structure is not a technical process. Just insulate, or install windows and you’ll be fine.” Follow the guidelines established by the US Department of Energy. “Weatherization”, or the latest terminology “Home Performance”, requires workers to have a comprehensive understanding of building science and construction methodology to make effective improvements to homes. Heating and cooling efforts combined with the climate and individual living conditions will affect your home and your comfort. Each home is unique and will likely require unique improvements. Each element of your home will affect the efficiency of all other elements. Like your automobile, work done partially or improperly can have little or even negative effects, while work done completely and correctly can dramatically increase the comfort, efficiency, and in some cases, resolve maintenance problems that could add decades to its life!
