5 Reasons Your New (Or Old) Windows Are Drafty

Описание: Window salesman will tell you that your windows are the source of your home drafts. I provide 5 reasons why they probably are not.

As a former window contractor turned certified home energy auditor I have been on both sides of the coin regarding replacement windows.

Early on, I convinced people (with the right intentions and wrong information) to replace windows to solve draft issues.

Now, I am on the other side getting called out for an energy audit to check windows because the new and old windows always seem drafty.

In fact, most people immediately connect comfort problems to windows and doors.

But, it usually turns out to be more significant problems lurking, and they don't cost nearly as much to fix!

It took me years to figure it all out, but when you stop and think about it all for a moment - it really makes a lot of sense.

If you stop to think about it for a moment, HOW and WHERE do you REALLY lose energy in a house -it makes a lot of sense!

I also have been a homeowner since 2005 and have been down the rabbit hole myself spending a fortune on new windows and HVAC.

I think homeowners need to learn key concepts to get in the driver's seat of their home's overall performance, and this video details what I mean.
