Challenge
Old Victorian style homes, like this one in Lewes Delaware, can be gorgeous examples of classic architecture. But from an energy efficiency standpoint they are a nightmare. Balloon framing, little or no insulation, old wiring, and a leaky shell, all contribute to massive amounts of energy loss during the hottest and coldest seasons. And of course this means astronomical bills. It is not uncommon to see monthly utility bills of these old homes exceeding $700.
Solution
The solutions lie mostly in sealing the air leaks, and upgrading the insulation. This can be especially challenging in the attic.
