Episode #1: Winter in the home - a podcast by Phillip Cooper

Welcome to TRC:365! Hello I'm Phillip Cooper with Total Roofing and Construction Services, Inc. and thanks for checking out our first podcast. We are starting our podcast to share our tips, experience within the home improvement industry. Our goal is to share our daily stories with real-time customers in the Chicagoland area and issues they've faced. Winter in the home discusses the two building products that you can investigate such as "insulation" and "windows." 

These 2 items are central to heat loss during the recent polar vortex and winter months. Check if you have a minimum of R-49 Insulation. If you are not comfortable reviewing this please call a local contractor. Take photos and document the condition of your attic cavity. Upon reviewing your attic, take a glance at your windows. Do you notice drifts or cold air near the windows? Are they old, wood, or do they even open? Look for noticeable air entry points. If you do have minor wind infiltration, then consider plastic sheathing or foam board covering (Local home improvement store), this will assist with heat loss.

This weekend inspect: Attic insulation & Window condition.
