What’s the old saying? If you don’t like the weather in Wisconsin, just wait five minutes—it’ll change. Well, it did. And fast. It got really hot, really quickly. A great test for our air conditioners—that’s for sure! But it's also a serious test for your windows, doors, and your home's overall energy efficiency.
If your air conditioner was running non-stop during the recent heatwave, that’s a sign something’s not right. These systems aren’t designed to run constantly. You could be losing more cooled air than you think, and it’s not just through the windows. It could be your entry doors, patio doors, or the entire front door system.
I’ve said it for years: we tend to notice drafts in the winter because they’re cold and uncomfortable. But in the summer? Faulty windows and doors are harder to detect—until you get that sky-high energy bill.
If you’re unsure whether your home is properly sealed, it might be time for a professional evaluation. Call the good folks at Callen for an honest assessment of your windows and doors. Your comfort will improve, your energy bills may go down—and your air conditioner might just thank you for it!
