Weatherization
No benefit to too much
insulation
I'm debating whether to put more insulation in the attic to save
energy. How do I know when I have enough?
Sealing house leaks saves
cash
I'd like to make my home more energy efficient before winter. What will
give me the best return for my investment?
Cold snap has
weatherization on minds of homeowners
I’d like to make my home more energy efficient, especially after last
month’s weather. What do I need to know about weatherizing it?
Weatherized home is a happy
one
I moved here from the Midwest this summer and now face my first
Northwest winter. I know it doesn’t get as cold here, but I don’t want
to waste heat either. What should I do to the house to conserve
energy?
Caulk now, save money in
winter
Given the rising costs of everything, what can I do to use less energy
this winter? I have a heat pump and my home seems to have plenty of
insulation.
Insulate
for energy savings all year
Is one kind of insulation better than others? I see all different
kinds advertised and would like to add some this summer.
Reduce home
heating costs by sealing leaks
I want to buy a new heat pump, but heard I have to air seal my
house. What is that and why do I need it? And is it expensive?
Triple-pane
windows probably aren’t necessary in this area
My home has single-pane, aluminum windows that sweat and let in cold
air during winter. Since I’m going to replace these this spring should
I put in triple-pane windows to save more energy?
Seal
house's air leaks while it's still warm
I was thinking about doing a few things around the house to get ready
for winter. Where would you suggest I get started?
Radiant
barrier too pricey for Northwest
I noticed in the attic a foil material that my friend said helped keep
his home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This is the
first time I remember seeing foil in the attic, but it seems to make
sense. What is this material and why don't we see it installed in the
Northwest?
Adding
insulation good way to battle heating costs
We are adding insulation to the ceiling and the floor over the
basement. I understand that when it comes to insulation, more is always
better than less, but at some point it no longer makes good economic
sense to add any more. How much is enough insulation for my home? My
wife suffers from allergies...
Expert can
help assess insulation situation
Over the past several decades, utilities throughout the region have
assisted customers in weatherizing their homes. Beginning in the early
1980s, many homes were weatherized to a standard set of
specifications...
