Windows used to be little more than a hole in the wall keeping out weather elements. Today’s attitude is that windows are a wall you can see through while remaining comfortable. Did you know that, in the average home, windows cover from 10 to 15 percent of the total wall area, yet they are responsible for 20 to 30 percent of the total home-energy loss? Windows lose heat, or in the summer when the air conditioning is operating, gain heat through the glass, the frame, the edge... spacers separating the panes of glass and through cracks around the sill. These losses cost the homeowner big bucks! Want to learn more about keeping your energy costs down? Contact us today for a free in home estimate! https://westernwindows.com/contact-us/

As we start to encounter lower seasonal temperatures in Calgary, it is important to remember to adjust our humidifiers accordingly. Humidifiers can be a GREAT addition to our homes in the winter months while our heating systems are really chugging away. During this time, our indoor air can become dry which will leave your nasal passages dried out and your throat scratchy. ... Humidifiers must be used properly. If moisture and condensation issues are not addressed immediately, this can lead to wood rot, damaged plaster and cause mold growth within your window unit. Health Canada recommends keeping your home's humidity above 30% in winter, however when the temperatures drop to -10 & -20 degrees, it is suggested that you turn your humidistat down to 15-20%

Are you thinking about renovating your basement and adding a bedroom?
