Did you know that 20 to 50 percent of the average household’s annual energy consumption is spent in cooling or heating the house? Isn’t that too high? Well, there’re ways to reduce it. According to Texas Tech’s professor of architecture Glenn Hill, you can lessen this percentage by cutting back on electricity usage. Since the recent weather conditions in the state are driving us crazy with changing temperatures, there are things we can do to protect our homes, manage our house utility expenses as well as get back what we pay for.

 

Weatherproofing Your Home

 

One way of reducing energy bills is to find where heat usually goes through your home and seal it. Two of these areas are through your windows and siding. To remedy this, double-pane windows and insulated vinyl siding are better at insulation which keeps heat from going through. There are various styles that are cost and energy efficient, so it won’t be a problem if you’re considering replacing your existing units with the help of a window and siding company in Lubbock TX.

 

Getting Your Investment Back

 

Did you know that energy efficient siding can help you recoup your home improvement investment? An article from debthelper.com cited that simple siding replacement can recoup your renovation expenses fairly quickly:

 

According to that Remodeling Magazine report, there’s a less chance that you will recoup your investment in a major remodel such as a kitchen or bathroom, than you are to get back what you spend on basic home maintenance. A good example of this would be adding or replacing siding.  According to the study, siding replacement recouped 92.8 percent of its cost.

 

In order to achieve efficient energy consumption, your home improvement products should be provided and installed by a reliable and trusted siding company in Midland TX. For all your needs, you can contact Jones & Associates as the company is committed to giving you the highest quality services without putting you or your home at risk.
