If so, you are not alone. A 2006 survey conducted by Owens Corning showed that nearly three-quarters (72 per cent) of Canadians are living in homes more than twenty years old. If this applies to you, you may be interested to know that Natural Resources Canada suggests homes more than 25 years old have the potential to save an average of 35 per cent of their energy use through energy efficient measures .

The following tips can help you reduce energy consumption and help the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Help improve a homes energy savings and prevent heat loss by checking for drafts. You can reduce drafts by caulking, sealing and weather-stripping around windows and door frames.

Replace old windows and doors to help reduce the transfer of cold air into the home and help to decrease energy costs for homeowners.

Upgrade your homes insulation using PINK Fiberglas batt insulation to help prevent heat loss and save you money in energy costs. An insulated home helps protect the environment by using less energy, which in turn helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Owens Corning PINK insulation is versatile and can be used to insulate many rooms and spaces in a home from top to bottom. It is also manufactured in Canada using 60 per cent recycled content and is GREENGUARD certified to meet stringent indoor air quality standards.

Think about it. If your house has an attached garage, the garage door may comprise more than one-third of your home’s front facade. If that home is more than five years old, your garage door probably is a solid-colored, raised-panel door that looks like every other garage door in the neighborhood.
