Many properties lose energy unnoticed - and therefore cause higher heating costs than necessary. If you know the typical weak points, you can take targeted countermeasures and make a big difference with simple measures. Owners benefit twice over: from lower operating costs and a better indoor climate.
Windows and doors: more than just passages
Leaky window frames or poorly closing doors are among the most common causes of energy loss. Sealing with sealing tapes or installing new seals can have a noticeable effect. In the case of older windows, it is often worth replacing them with modern thermal insulation glazing.
Attic and basement ceiling in view
Warm air rises - and escapes through poorly insulated attics. Cellar ceilings also often give off unused energy. Retrofitting insulation to these areas is inexpensive and brings quick results. Subsidy programs can also cushion the investment.
Heating pipes and roller shutter boxes
Often overlooked: Uninsulated heating pipes in unheated rooms and leaking roller shutter boxes are real energy guzzlers. Pipe insulation is easy to install, and suitable insulation modules are also available for retrofitting to old roller shutter systems.
Energy consulting pays off
If you are not sure where your home has weak points, you should consider a professional energy consultation. The building is systematically analyzed - often with thermography - and specific recommendations for action are given.
Conclusion
Even small measures can have a big impact. If you recognize typical weak points in your home and take targeted action, you not only save energy and money, but also increase the comfort and value of your property.
