Inviting friends and family to your home is the perfect way to ensure that all your loved ones are gathered together for the holidays. Playing host during the holidays also typically involves having some overnight guests, especially if you’ve got a lot of family from out of town.
You might be surprised to hear that the U.S. Department of Energy has estimated that 25 to 40 percent of your heating and cooling costs can be attributed to the windows in your home. This is because the glass in your windows will lose heat in the winter and gain more heat during the Jacksonville’s hot summer months.
