It turned out to be that one of the new, double paned windows was installed without any sort of insulation
I knew there was a draft in our home and I also knew that it was a pretty significant. But for the first 2 Winters that my associate and I lived in this house, I was still pretty stupid when it came to preparing a home for Winter. I’m not stupid in general however more really about all the stuff that goes with a real Winter. I’m from the deep south where winter time is a time where you may have to put on long pants and a jacket. But that would be a severe case of cold. The only thing I ever discussed when it came to the HVAC was the cooling part of that acronym; Heating was not something I knew anything about. My friend and I had to transfer up here for my husbandy’s job and will be here another few years it looks like. I really didn’t know what I was doing when it came to the gas boiler or getting the home ready for Winter, but like I did at home, I called the HVAC professionals to schedule HVAC maintenance. Thankfully, the HVAC specialist helped me understand how to help myself when it came to lowering our heating costs. I just had to follow the step in order to seal the home up really well! Once I did that properly, the source of the major draft became totally apparent. It turned out to be that one of the new, double paned windows was installed without any sort of insulation. Once that was buttoned up, there was zero drafty feeling in the house. Along with the winter time prep, sealing that draft source turned our home into a toasty spot this winter time and my associate and I saved a ton on heating expenses.
