Before Winter Comes, Look at Where Your Home Is Losing Energy

Your home works hard to keep you comfortable. But if you’re dealing with drafty windows, poor insulation or other energy leaks, your heating and cooling system may be working harder than it needs to.

And your energy bill may be feeling it, too.

September is a great time to take a look at your home’s energy efficiency — before the first really cold weather arrives.

Start With Your Windows

Older or inefficient windows can be one of the biggest trouble spots in a home. If you feel a draft near your windows, notice condensation or simply have windows that are past their prime, it may be time to consider an upgrade.

At Lima Lumber Brick & Block, we offer a great selection of energy-efficient windows designed to help keep your home comfortable while reducing the amount of energy needed to heat and cool it.
And we’re not just here to sell you a window.

Our team can help you understand your options, compare products and find a solution that makes sense for your home and budget.

Don’t Forget the Other Trouble Spots

Windows are important, but they’re not the only place your home can lose energy.

Doors, insulation, attic spaces and other areas where air can enter or escape can all affect your home’s efficiency.

If you’re remodeling, adding on or building something new, it’s a great opportunity to think about energy efficiency from the beginning. Choosing quality materials and making smart decisions during the project can pay off for years to come.

That’s where having an experienced building-products team can make a difference.

We Can Help With More Than Products

One of the things that sets Lima Lumber Brick & Block apart is that we’re here to help you figure out what makes sense for your project.

Our team can help with product selection, design services and ideas based on your goals and budget. And if you need help getting the work done, we can connect you with trusted local contractors for installation.

You don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

Whether you’re replacing a few windows, planning a larger renovation or building something new, we’d be happy to help you get started.

Don’t Wait for the First Cold Snap

Nobody wants to discover a drafty window when the wind is blowing and the furnace is running nonstop.

September gives you time to look around, make a plan and take care of improvements before winter arrives.

You may even notice the difference during the summer months, too. Improvements that help keep warm air out in the summer can also help keep warm air in during the winter.

Better energy efficiency means a more comfortable home and potentially lower heating and cooling costs.

And it starts with knowing where your home needs help.
