Against cold or hot weather, always think about isolating your home. This investment can allow you to economize for a long term period: a well isolated home consists of a smaller and hence cheaper heating installation. Use insulating material to assure the isolation of walls and roofs, and place windows that are perfectly watertight, which allows you to divide by 2 or 3 the energy consumption, and hence the heating bill as well as the greenhouse gas emissions!

 

When it is cold, think about closing the shades or the shutters at night. Therefore you will create more isolation.
When it is hot, think about closing the windows, the shades, and the shutters during the day. Therefore, the heat won’t come inside.
When you are building a house or making some renovation works, remember that the purchase of some more centimeters of insulating material requires the same installation work. Therefore, favor the natural insulating installation like: sheepskin or hemp isolation.
