As the home depressurized, cold air whooshed in from around doors and windows, through the fireplace, and even through the wall’s electrical outlets.
After pinpointing all the places where drafts happened, Cadogan’s energy advisor explained simple ways to fix them.
Energy Star windows
After insulating the crawl space and replacing all 12 windows with Energy Star-rated high-efficiency windows, Cadogan says his home feels much more pleasant.

“I have noticed quite a bit of difference with the windows,” Cadogan says. They don’t contribute as much to solar heat gain in the summer, and in the winter, they help the house stay at a more even temperature. “They don’t mist up or fog up any more.”
