We all love the sun streaming through the windows especially this time of year, when every second of sunshine is worth its bandwidth in gold. However, windows are the weakest element in any building structure and the only element that has very little insulating value. Even the best windows on the market (3 pane, with argon and crypton gas) still allow for 50% of heat to travel through them.
Here is a simple experiment touch your wall and then touch the glass of your windows, the temperature differential will be staggering. The solution is actually very simple and has been around for the past 28 years, however only the fortunate few have been aware.

Krumpers appeared on Rogers Daytime to share insightful knowledge of one powerful tool that will uncover all insulation problems in the home.
There is still time to benefit from the eco-energy retrofit program!
Are you looking for ways to improve the energy efficiency of your home? Hire a house inspector or home renovations company to do a full inspection using thermo graphic imagery.
Thermo graphic imagery will uncover areas in your home where you can improve your insulation R-value. You are able to see wall by wall and window by window where there are issues of poor insulation or mold. This simple inspection will lead to dramatic cost savings as you are replacing the areas that need attention rather than opening the entire wall.
A key to maintaining a comfortable home temperature while saving on energy costs is to address issues before symptoms arise.
“It may come as a surprise, but there is actually a fascinating history to window blinds. Archaeological evidence suggests that they appeared at about the same period in both the great Chinese and Egyptian civilizations. The first window blinds in ancient China were made of bamboo whereas ancient Egyptians weaved reeds into mats to create shades that worked much like modern roller blinds.”
