Homeowners throughout Ottawa are concerned about the energy efficiency of their house. Understanding that with the proper appliances and insulation a home can become more efficient a number of homeowners are upgrading their house with better windows. Ottawa residents that have already inspected their home for adequate insulation in their attics can pay attention to their doors and windows. Because heat escapes through the small crevices and cracks around the edges of door and window frames homeowners in Ottawa can increase their homes energy efficiency by upgrading their existing windows. In a number of households that have trouble retaining the heat from their furnace there is a gap that surrounds the window framework. Allowing cold air to pass into the house and heat to escape from the home the small poorly insulated areas of the home many houses are losing the precious resources of their costly utilities. In homes that are older there is also a risk that a single pane window is allowing heat to be transferred to the outside. Because glass conducts heat and cold it can draw the warmth of the house out into the cooler climate. Making it most costly to heat a house the windows that are pulling energy out of home, windows are one of the most overlooked places that can be upgraded to make a house more energy efficient. However by having high quality energy efficient windows Ottawa homeowners can cut down on their waste and make their home more comfortable. Installing dual pained low-E windows the savings to the utility bills can be as much as 25% as the energy inside the house remains where it belongs.
