At WeatherTite, our goal is to increase your home's heating efficiency while providing you with a cost effective way of maintaining your family's comfort, using the energy of the sun.

The majority of homes in New York State were built when energy was relatively inexpensive. These homes are significantly more costly to heat than a newer energy-efficient home. Weathertite audits will identify problem areas and inefficiencies in your home and propose repairs that will save you energy and money.

A home energy audit is the first step to assess how much energy your home consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient.  An audit will show you problems that may, when corrected, save you significant amounts of money over time. 

Here is an excellent description provided by the Radiant Panel Association:

Hold your hand over a cup of coffee and feel the heat. The logical conclusion is that heat rises. Logical maybe, but incorrect!
“Hot air” rises but “heat” can travel in many directions. That is why you can feel the heat of the coffee cup when you place your hand to the side of it. Radiant energy transfer is caused by a warm surface giving up its heat to a cooler surface.

Consider how the sun (10,000 � F) heats the earth (61 � ). The sun radiates its energy towards the earth. The radiant energy is absorbed by the earth and is released as heat
