2 of the most common culprits that let heat and air-conditioning escape from homes are leaks and poor insulation. Here are some guidelines to minimize these weak areas of your Oceanfront Del Mar home and, ultimately, save you money:

Replace old windows. 5-30% of a home or condo's energy is lost from drafty windows and adoors. Consider getting storm windows, as these act as a wind buffer and insulation, which would be a big help in your energy-saving plans. It also protects the prime windows from weather degradation, which lessens the need for future paint jobs.

Upgrade your old furnace. As much as 50% of your heating bill can be saved by replacing an old, inefficient furnace with a new Energy Star-certified one.

Look for the right storm door. Your Oceanfront Del Mar home's front door can be better protected by storm doors, which add insulation and stop drafts. The tighter the fit, the better the insulation, and the more effective the storm door will be. Most of these have adjustable bottoms that slide up and down when its screws are loosened a bit. This will allow it to fit snugly to the door's threshold which stops drafts.

Insulate sidewalls and garage. As with many old homes, heat is lost through sidewalls. Upgrade your sidewall insulation using any of these materials: fibreglass, cellulose fiber, or any type of foam. Each of these will cut down air infiltration through sheathing gaps, and also eliminate inside-outside heat flow.

Improve attic insulation. Most attics are not properly insulated, and upgrading an its insulation can be one of the best ways to have better energy efficiency. 2 of the most commonly used materials for attics are fibreglass and cellulose fiber. You must make sure every nook and cranny is fitted snugly so that air does not leak out or seep in.

Using these guidelines will help you achieve an energy efficient Oceanfront Del Mar Home.
