Home performance

Home performance refers to how well your house works to keep you comfortable and save energy.

Here's a simple way to understand it:

Imagine your house is like a car. You want your car to run well, be safe, and not use too much gas. Just like a car has different parts that need to work together to make it run well, your house has different parts that make it work well.

Some important parts of your house for home performance are:

1. Insulation- Insulation is like a big blanket that helps keep your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It's important to have enough insulation, which is usually in the walls and the attic.

2. Air Sealing- Air sealing means closing up any places where air can come in or out of your house. This keeps the cold air out in the winter and the hot air out in the summer.

3. Heating and Cooling- Your heating and cooling system is like the engine of your house. A good heating and cooling system can keep your house at a comfortable temperature while also using less energy.

4. Lighting- Lighting is an important part of your house. There are different kinds of light bulbs, some use less energy than others.

When these parts work well together, your house will be more comfortable, energy-efficient, and save you money on your energy bills. You can work with experts to figure out how to make your house perform better, just like you take your car to a mechanic to make it run better.

So, imagine your house like a car and make sure all the parts are working together to make your home a happy and healthy place to live!
