It’s probably safe to assume you’re as happy that 2020 is over as we are! It was a tumultuous year for everyone and we could not be more excited to get started on 2021. What better way to bring in the new year and stick to your New Year’s Resolution than with some awesome improvements to your home!
Let us help you start the New Year off right by getting you up to speed on what you can do to help improve your home and make it the best it can be.
Before anything else, it’s important to get a home energy audit to assess what improvements your home needs most. Luckily for you, Acorn Home Improvements offers FREE energy audits!
It may surprise you, but most homes lack adequate insulation! So why not just turn the heat up? Well that can get pretty expensive! Even then, you will still lose a large amount of that heat without the proper insulation. Heat rises, just think about a hot air balloon. The same is true with your home, heat rises and without enough insulation, it will continue to rise and escape through your attic. One of the most efficient ways to improve your home is insulation! This could be one of the key things your home needs in order to make it more comfortable, especially in these winter months. If you also want to lower your energy bills, this is one of the best ways to keep those heating costs down.
As important as it is to keep warm air in, its equally important to keep cold air out! There’s tons of cracks and openings in homes that allow cold outside air to sneak in. Use caulk to fill in any cracks, holes or openings on the exterior of your home.
Being an eyesore isn’t the only downside to keeping your old windows! Sometimes doing your own sealing just doesn’t cut it. Instead, install new insulated double pane storm windows to improve your homes thermal insulation and help finally get rid of those pesky drafts.
You know siding can make your house more beautiful and increase curb appeal, but did you know that it can also make your home more energy efficient? Acorn offers energy-efficient siding that help improve your home and lower your energy bills all year round!
While we have yet to figure out flying cars, technology has still come a tremendous way into making our lives easier and more efficient which holds true for your home as well! Products such as Smart Thermostats, lights, and video doorbells can all improve your home and improve safety! The best part is, you don’t even have to be home to control most of these, all you need is your phone, an app, and an internet connection and you’re in business. Unsure where to start? We’re here to help! Acorn offers free home Energy Audits utilizing industry leading technology such as thermal imaging to help perform an energy audit on your home and take the guess work out of what type of work will benefit your home!
