Winter tests every weak spot in your home. Drafty windows let cold air pour inside. Poor insulation wastes heat and money. Leaky doors create ice patches on floors. October is your window to strengthen your home against bitter months ahead. Working with home renovation contractors GTA experts now means you’ll stay cozy and warm all season.
Starting home renovation projects today with Heidan Construction gets work done before holiday schedules crowd out availability and weather stops outdoor tasks cold.
Audits Reveal Hidden Weak Spots
Your home leaks air in places you can’t see. Gaps around outlets, pipes entering walls, and attic hatches all bleed heat. A thermal audit finds these spots. Pros use infrared cameras that show heat escaping. Cool spots on the scan mean air leaks or missing insulation.
Audits save thousands over time. Once you know where problems hide, fixes become targeted and smart. You won’t waste money fixing areas that work fine. Your home renovation contractor tackles actual issues first. That’s how smart upgrades happen.
Window Updates Cut Heat Loss Fast
Single-pane windows act like holes in your walls. Heat pours through glass faster than through wood or drywall. Double-pane windows trap air between panes. That air acts as insulation. Triple-pane windows work even better but cost more.
Low-E coatings reflect heat into rooms. Argon gas between panes insulates better than regular air. These upgrades cut heat loss by 30-50%. Your furnace runs less. Bills drop month after month. Window upgrades pay back in 7-10 years through savings alone.
Door Replacements Stop Drafts Dead
Old doors warp and shrink. Gaps form around frames. Cold air rushes in. New doors fit tightly with proper seals. Insulated cores block heat transfer. Steel doors resist warping. Fiberglass doors handle moisture without rotting. Both outlast wood doors in harsh climates.
When Heidan Construction works with you to design your new home addition or upgrade, seasoned experts know how to keep your home insulated and comfortable during the cold winter months.
