Recently we’ve talked about various types of heating systems and today let’s look at the weak link in every home’s ability to conserve energy – The Windows.

As fall draws to a close and we look forward to winter wouldn’t you want to be all snuggly warm and inside an Energy Efficient home?

For several weeks now, we have been looking at ways to Winterize your home and have tried to make specific suggestions that are inexpensive and effective.  There is no need to break the bank!  With very few exceptions the things are suggesting will make significant improvements and not cost you a lot of hard-earned money; things like:

We’ve been talking about Air-Source Cold Climate Heat Pumps for the past couple days.  Honestly, here at Vermont Modular we are convinced Heat Pumps are the heating appliance of the future for a myriad of reasons.  However, like everything there are advantages and disadvantages; nothing is all one way.

Advantages:

For the past several days we have talked about possibly building you a vacation home here in Vermont. 

Oh look, it’s Friday and the weekend is upon us.  Put that together with it being July 4th week, beautiful weather, and we are about to head off to vacation.

Isn’t this just the perfect time to continue thinking of your Vacation Home here in The Green Mountain State?  Of course, we all know that nothings is better than July and August in Vermont!  Don’t forget that even the skiers look forward to this.

Next Tuesday is July 4th and for many people the Nation’s Birthday Holiday will start on Friday and last all next week.  Yes, Vermont Modular Homes will be closed for a long holiday weekend along with everyone else.

So, while you and your family are on vacation have you considered building your own vacation home right here in Vermont?  Well of course you have and honestly, we think it’s a great idea.

It’s Friday, the weekend is upon us, yesterday was the Summer Equinox so Summer is officially here, it has been beautiful weather all week long, and now both Saturday and Sunday are scheduled to rain.

This weekend is the perfect time to sit back, think, dream, and plan the layout for your new home.

As I start to write this blog post it dawns on me that today is May 30th, the traditional day for Memorial Day.  This May 30th let us all remember those that have preserved our freedoms and the joy we have in our lives.

Energy Efficiency is a theme that Vermont Modular Homes constantly talks about, we think of Energy Efficiency as one of our core values.

Every well-built home has good insulation to stop Heat Loss.  Granted, Vermont Modular believes we build one of the most Energy Efficient homes available.

However, there is a “Weak Link” in every home and it is the same everywhere.  That weak link is the windows. 

Over this past weekend we had unseasonably cold weather, snow, sleet, freezing rain, and very high winds.  Isn’t April just fabulous!  I have mentioned several times that I personally think April is the cruelest month of the year.  Last weekend snow, this coming weekend it is forecast to be 60 degrees.  See why I think April is awful!  The great thing about April is that it is followed by glorious May and so on…………
