Cold or Warped Floors
The Floors are Cold. It’s a cold winter day and, determined to stay comfortable, you’ve set the thermostat to 70°. As you walk through the house, however, you still feel cold. You nudge the thermostat up to 72°, and then 74°, but you still feel cold. After a bit of detective work you finally discover the culprit: cold floors.
High Utility Bills
Energy is Expensive, and it’s Only Getting Worse. During the hot summer and cold winter months, you notice that your utility bills are higher than expected. Checking with your colleague from work who has a similar home, you discover that your house uses much more energy than his.
Drafts
An Unwanted Breeze. As you sit down in your favorite recliner, you notice a draft coming across you, forcing you to go and get a sweater from your bedroom. It’s the same draft that you have been dealing with for years, the one that prevents your spouse from joining you in the den. On this cold winter evening, however, you have decided that enough is enough.
Outside Noise
A Quiet Night Gone Bad. You’ve just settled in for your favorite episode of Matlock when the deafening whoosh of a passing truck causes you to miss a key line in the opening sequence. To make matters worse, the dog next door hasn’t stopped barking since its owners left hours ago.
