Winter is coming, and for many homeowners, that means bracing for higher heating bills. While you might blame your furnace or windows for those rising costs, there’s another important factor you should consider – your home’s siding. At Center Construction Roofing, we’ve helped many homeowners discover that their outdated or damaged siding was the real reason behind their sky-high heating bills.
Why Siding Matters More Than You Think
Your home’s siding isn’t just about looks. It’s actually your house’s winter armor, working hard to keep warm air inside and cold air outside. When siding gets old or damaged, it’s like wearing a coat full of holes in freezing weather – you’re going to feel the cold, and your heater will have to work overtime to keep up.
Many of our customers are surprised when they learn that poor siding can account for up to 35% of their home’s heat loss. That’s a lot of warmth (and money) literally slipping through the cracks!
Warning Signs Your Siding is Costing You Money
How can you tell if your siding is letting you down? Here are some clear signs:
- You notice drafts in certain rooms, even when all windows and doors are closed
- Some areas of your house feel significantly colder than others
- Your heating bills keep climbing year after year
- The walls feel cold when you touch them
- You see visible gaps, cracks, or warping in your siding
If any of these sound familiar, your siding might be due for an upgrade. The good news is that fixing these issues can make a real difference in both your comfort and your heating bills.
