4 Big Signs Your Westchester House Is Losing Energy

If your Westchester house is super cold and uncomfortable in the winter, that’s a big sign it’s wasting energy (and letting heat escape!).

Here’s how to diagnose the problem for sure—and how to make your home comfortable in 3 steps.

Fix your drafty house —for NO upfront cost

4 major signs your Westchester house is wasting energy:

1. Your energy bills are ridiculously high

This is the major one. If your energy bills skyrocket in the winter—but your house is still uncomfortable—that means the energy you’re purchasing is likely going straight out of your house.

2. The room temperatures are all different

Every room in your home should feel comfortable. If the temperature varies widely from room to room—or if there are rooms which never feel warm—now’s a great time to address the underlying issue.

3. Your HVAC runs all the time

Do you hear your heater running constantly? That’s not normal. An efficient HVAC in a well-sealed home should only kick on sporadically.

4. Your house just feels cold

Honestly, this is all the reason you need. If you just don’t feel comfortable in your own home, it’s time for a change. You don’t have to live with cold temperatures and drafts. (We promise!)

(Want to call in an expert to fix these issues? We’ve got you covered—and for NO upfront cost.)

How to make your Westchester house warm and comfortable in 3 steps

1. First, get your home professionally air-sealed

Most homes—especially older homes—are full of tiny holes that homeowners don’t know about. And those little gaps let a whole lot of warm air out! (The U.S. Department of Energy speculates that air leaks alone can cause about 25-30% of the heating load in a house.)

Professional air-sealing can fix this issue—and make your home feel better immediately.

2. Make sure your insulation is up to the job

Most New York buildings aren’t insulated correctly. And if your insulation is old—or if you don’t have enough of it—all the energy you purchase will simply leave your house (and leave you shivering).

3. Install an efficient HVAC system

Even the best-insulated and sealed home won’t stay warm if you don’t have the right HVAC system.

After a thorough review of every option on the market, we wholeheartedly recommend heat pumps. A heat pump is the Tesla of HVAC. It can heat, air condition, purify, and dehumidify your home—all in one system. Plus, it’s amazingly efficient and runs on clean energy.

A heat pump is—bar none—the one system that can make your home feel amazing 365 days per year. And if your Westchester house qualifies, you can get a heat pump for NO upfront cost.

Make your Westchester home unbelievably warm and comfortable. For no upfront costs. (You read that right.)

Good news: With Sealed, you can get all the work you need—air sealing, insulation, and the latest HVAC—for no upfront money.

How does it work? First, we bring in experts to analyze your house and see what work needs to be done. Then we take care of the initial charges! (You’ll pay us back little by little, at a rate based on the energy you saved as a result of the work.)

Even better: We oversee the project and stand by our work 100%. We don’t recommend any work that you don’t need. And if you don’t save energy, we don’t get paid.
