In new construction, the issue of savings is very important, but heat losses can be assessed on your own. Just place your hand on the door or window.

The most common cause of heat loss is leaky windows. Replacing them is expensive, so it’s worth trying to repair them yourself first. Replacing seals yourself is not difficult at all.
