All You Need to Know About Making Your Home Energy-Efficient

How’s the temperature inside your home these days? If you have rooms that are too hot or too cold, it’s time to re-evaluate your home’s energy performance.

Basics

In 2002, the U.S. Department of Energy, along with the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA), started the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program. What makes it different is its “whole house” approach to a more efficient home.

The idea is making more parts of your home energy-efficient through various home improvement projects. You can, for example, replace your New Jersey windows, add insulation, seal ductwork, get rid of leaks, and upgrade your HVAC systems. In the end, what you want to have is a home that keeps you cool in the summer and warm during winter.

Benefits

You have a lot to gain when you make your home more energy-efficient, including:

• Reduced Energy Bills – You’ll save more when you improve your home’s energy performance. Efficient windows, insulation, and doors, for instance, can work together to keep indoor temperatures at comfortable levels without the need to overwork your AC or furnace.
• Improved Air Quality – Switching to more energy-efficient products can help you prevent health problems caused by poor indoor air quality. When replacing your windows or doors in New Jersey, for example, you can choose ENERGY STAR-qualified products from Renewal by Andersen®. These have met the country’s strictest standards for indoor air emission, so you’re sure that you’ll only be breathing safe air.
• Enhanced Durability – Installing energy-efficient products also helps protect your home from damage. Efficient windows, for example, eliminate moisture concerns that affect the home’s structural integrity. You can get more bang for your buck when you hire reliable contractors to install these efficient products. When we install your next windows and doors, we will make sure to fit the unit perfectly into the opening on your wall without damaging surrounding structures.

Like the U.S. Department of Energy, Renewal by Andersen of New Jersey-New York Metro believes in the “whole house” approach to energy efficiency. We can install ENERGY STAR-qualified replacement windows and doors for your home to improve overall comfort indoors.
