"Looks like we've got our house totally energy efficient now!" Not quite. Look down at your feet.
It's amazing to us how many times basement windows are overlooked when homeowners are improving the energy
efficiency of their homes. Perhaps because they're small, and in the basement anyway, how much could they affect
your home energy costs? Surprisingly, basement windows, because they are often single pane glass with aluminum or
steel frames, will conduct cold very quickly. The colder your basement becomes in the winter the harder your
furnace and water heater has to work to maintain constant temperature.

Studies have shown that a drafty basement can use as much as 20% more energy during the winter
months.

Furthermore, when the weather is warm in New Hampshire, it is equally as important to keep your basement
well-ventilated to prevent mold and moisture from causing problems for the structure of the house. Often times
those old aluminum or steel-framed basement windows will rust or oxidize and be difficult to open.
