Weatherization (also referred to as weatherproofing) serves to protect a home’s interior against exposure to outdoor elements, moisture and extreme temperature fluctuations.
People living in cold climates are well acquainted with layering up to keep warm as temperatures drop, although homeowners might not recognize this practice. Weatherization (commonly referred to as weatherproofing) protects homes against outdoor elements, moisture intrusion and extreme temperature fluctuations by weatherproofing interior spaces against outdoor elements like moisture or extreme temperature variations.
Weatherization begins with a home energy assessment, an indispensable tool for any new homeowner that helps identify inefficiencies (or lack thereof) and recommend upgrades that reduce energy use. Real estate professionals can assist their clients by emphasizing the significance of an energy assessment as part of a system review for new homes.
