Certified by Energy Star, homeowners can opt for more glass in their windows while continuing to prioritize energy efficiency.

Our homes are our sanctuaries. It’s more important than ever to ensure your home is a safe and healthy environment for you and your family. Indoor air quality can have a negative effect on your health, and the air inside your home is oftentimes more polluted than the air outside. Explore five effective wellness design principles that can lead to better indoor air quality and on overall healthier home.
DIY projects that can conserve energy around the house
Even small DIY projects can produce big savings. Sealing air leaks can save homeowners between 10 and 20 percent on their annual heating and cooling bills, according to home energy experts.
expensive projects. The DOE notes that the following are some energy-saving projects and details what homeowners can expect to save after completing them. While each individual project may not result in jaw-dropping savings, homeowners who follow many of these recommendations may end up saving more than $1,000 per year.
Install storm windows
Low-e windows reflect infrared heat back into a home. Such windows are coated with an ultrathin layer of metal that improves the window’s insulation ability. Homeowners who install low-e windows can save between 12 and 33 percent on their annual heating and cooling costs.
Seal uncontrolled air leaks
Air leaks let cool air in during winter and warm air in during summer. Caulking, sealing and weather stripping all cracks and large openings can cut back on air leaks that are costing you money. The DOE recommends hiring a contractor to seal any leaks on heating and cooling ducts. Homeowners who seal

Ventilation helps your home rid itself of moisture, smoke, cooking odors and indoor pollutants. Natural ventilation is a great alternative to air conditioning in moderate climates. To ensure maximum ventilation, be selective about the insect screens you choose for your windows and doors. TruScene insect screens from Andersen for example, let in over 25 percent more fresh air and 50 percent more clarity than standard Andersen fiberglass insect screens, making them a good choice for people who want to take advantage of open windows.
Eliminate dust
uncontrolled air leaks can save between 10 and 20 percent on their annual heating and cooling bills.
Plant shade trees
If you plant a deciduous tree between six and eight feel tall near your home, it will begin to shade your windows within a year of being planted. Depending on the species of the tree and the home, the shade tree will begin shading the roof within five to 10 years. The DOE notes that shading is the most cost-effective way to reduce air conditioning costs. Properly planted shade trees can reduce air conditioning costs by anywhere from 15 to 50 percent.
Insulate the water heater tank
New water tanks are likely already insulated. But homeowners with older hot water tanks can insulate their tanks with a water heater insulating blanket kit. Insulating a water heater tank can save homeowners as much as 16 percent on their annual water heating bills.

Home renovation projects can pay numerous dividends. Renovation projects that aim to conserve energy can save homeowners substantial amounts of money. Such projects don’t often require considerable effort or even sizable financial investments, which can make homeowners skeptical as to just how much they can save after completing the project. But the scale of a project may have little to do with how much homeowners will save. For example, the U.S. Department of Energy notes that a relatively effortless task like turning back a thermostat between 7° and 10° F for eight hours per day can save homeowners as much as $83 per year. A more laborintensive task like planting shade trees saves homeowners an average of between $35 and $119 per year. When looking for ways to conserve energy around the house and save money, homeowners need not necessarily commit to
Accumulated dust can irritate the eyes, lungs and skin and further
aggravate the symptoms of people living with allergies. Sometimes attempts to free a home of dust only end up kicking up more debris. To avoid this, use wet dusting methods. When it’s time to empty vacuum bags and canisters, do so carefully – this is one task that may be best to perform outdoors. Finally, make maintaining a dustfree home easier by investing in an air purifier. Consider also selecting machine washable curtains, furniture covers and other fabrics.
Decorate with plant
Decorating your living spaces with plants is not only a beautiful design statement, but plants act as natural air purifiers, absorbing toxicants and converting indoor carbon dioxide into oxygen. For more healthy home ideas and inspiration, visit andersenwindows.com. (STATEPOINT)
Area family finds warmth in wood-fired heat Using alternative energy brings family, community closer

At left: Wyatt Miller stokes the wood-burning stove that heats the house at his family’s farm in rural Burlington. The family has to add wood twice during a typical winter day. At right: Mark Miller (center) gathers with sons Eli (left) and Wyatt after stacking wood for their wood-burning stove. The stove supplies heated water for their home’s comfort system.
HOMES & DESIGN • HOME BUYER, OWNER & RENTER
Jennifer and Mark married in 1994, and began wood heating shortly thereafter. Jennifer is an artist and owns her own business, The Riverview Studio/Get Artzy. They live on a tributary of the Fox River, so the views are exquisite. Jennifer’s business is a gallery where she sells art, but she also teaches art classes to people as young as 6 and adults. Jennifer says they start wood heating in mid-October and it lasts through Memorial Day, depending on the weather. She says there are “15 to 20 cords” at their 1839 farmhouse. In a world of ease with more people choosing to not take care of their lawns, yards and homes, and hire help, why do the Millers like to get their hands dirty? “We think caring about our earth and energy is important for our family and our kids’ future families,” Jennifer said. “We save a ton of money. But we also don’t have to buy wood or wood pellets. We have our own source of wood. That makes it efficient. Also I have strong boys.”
NOV. 2020
Mark and Jennifer Miller are extremely thankful for the Burlington community. When Mark unexpectedly had to cut back on physical activity due to a medical condition in 2009, the city rallied around the Burlington native, who lives just outside of town on Spring Prairie Road. The family farm requires a litany of chores, and many people, from firefighters to youth football players to friends, have helped the Millers continue their operation each year. On a designated day in November, people come out to help split and stack wood. “They usually stack enough for our winter season,” Jennifer said Monday. “Mark was unable to cut or stack wood to heat his house. We are so thankful for Burlington and its community members for paying it forward to the Miller family each year.” You may be wondering why Mark and Jennifer need help heating their house. They live in the country, Wisconsin has really cold winters and they don’t have
superpowers, right? Wrong. Mark and Jennifer believe in energy conservation and efficiency, and they use a special wood-burning stove to heat their house during the winter. When interviewed Sunday about whether the heater has been used already this season – on a cool fall day in the low 60s – Jennifer said they haven’t fired up the stove yet. But it’s coming soon. Jennifer says it’s family time, when her and Mark, along with sons Wyatt, 25, and Eli, 23, cut down trees on their property or use wood from dead trees in friends’ yards. “We have a wood splitter, and we stack a large pile for the winter,” Jennifer said. “The wood burner is outside. It heats up water in a tank around the inside fire. Then, the heated water is pumped underground to the house to a heat exchanger through our furnace.” “We stoke the fire two times a day, unless it’s below zero, then maybe three or four times. Wood heating is efficient, and doesn’t cost much. It also keeps my family in shape.”

Sept. home market was red hot Record-low mortgage rates helped fuel double-digit increases

HOMES & DESIGN • HOME BUYER, OWNER & RENTER
NOV. 2020
As mortgage rates fell to their lowest level on record, the Wisconsin existing home market responded with record September sales and robust price appreciation. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 2.89% in September, which pushed home sales up 18.1% compared to September 2019, and increased the statewide median price 17.9% to $229,900. Similar numbers were posted in local counties with number of homes sold in September up a whopping 51.3% in Walworth County, 17.9% in Racine County, 12.9% in Waukesha County and 11% in Jefferson County. The only county in the area to see declining sales was Kenosha (-2.6%) as it struggled with the after effects of civil unrest in August. Median prices for the eight-county Southeast Wisconsin area were up nearly 10% in the comparison of September 2020 ($240,000) and September 2019 ($218,500). WRA officials said the market turnaround is remarkable. “When we consider what transpired last spring, we never would have imagined how quickly the housing market would rebound,” said WRA Chairman Steve Beers. The economic lockdown of the state pushed annualized sales down 23.6% in May alone. In contrast, the annual growth in home sales surged by 10.2% in July, rose 2.6% in August and increased 18.1% in September. In fact, according to the WRA, this is the strongest third quarter on record for Wisconsin home sales, eclipsing the previous third quarter sales record established last year by 9.8%.
Inventory still tight
“What makes this even more impressive is that we hit this new record even though inventories continued to slip,” said Beers.
Wisconsin had just 3.7 months of housing supply in September compared to 5.1 months of supply 12 months earlier. “Demand has increased in recent months for a couple of reasons: low mortgage rates and an improving job market in the state,” said WRA President and CEO Michael Theo. Mortgage rates began dropping in January, and the aggressive actions by the Federal Reserve Bank to mitigate the effects of the economic shutdown have pushed mortgage rates to record-low levels for six straight months. These actions, combined with the stimulus programs, have also dropped the state unemployment rate from its peak of 13.6% in April to 5.4% in September. “Although we’re still well below the levels of last year, we made up ground this past month,” said Theo. Non-farm employment rose by 23,800 jobs between August and September, with the private sector component increasing by 13,700 jobs. “Realtors are definitely moving homes, but they’re hampered by limited supply, and that is really pumping up prices,” said Theo. Not surprisingly, this has made Wisconsin housing less affordable. The Wisconsin Housing Affordability Index shows the fraction of the median-priced home that a qualified buyer with median family income can afford to purchase, assuming 20% down payment and the remaining balance financed with a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. The index fell from 216 in September 2019 to 195 in September 2020. “That’s a big drop, but we need to keep that in perspective,” said Theo. Thanks to mortgage rates that are nearly three quarters of a percent lower than this time last year, the typical buyer can still afford to buy a house that is almost double the median family income.
Recovery varies
“While the Wisconsin housing market recovery appears to be V-shaped, the national economy is following a more traditional path,” said David Clark, Marquette University economist and consultant to the WRA. The national unemployment rate has fallen from a peak of 14.7% in April to 7.9% in September. “After the major contraction in the second quarter this year, we definitely expect improvement in the second half of the year, but it will take some time to fully recover,” said Clark. In the second quarter, real GDP slid 31.4% relative to the previous quarter. In contrast, estimates by the New York Federal Reserve Bank are projecting third quarter real GDP growth to come in at just over 14%, according to Clark. He also noted that there are indications that consumers are gaining confidence. The Consumer Confidence Index published by the Conference Board showed a sharp increase in September, in terms of consumers’ assessment of both current and short-term future conditions. “This likely bodes well for the housing market over the next few months,” he said. Theo indicates that buyers shouldn’t conclude that the housing market shuts down after the summer. “Realtors still sell a lot of homes during the fall season, so there are plenty of great options for buyers,” he said. However, he cautioned that it’s still a strong seller’s market, so buyers need to be ready to move quickly when they find the right home. “Having your financing pre-approved is really the key to success in this very tight market,” Theo said.

COVID-19 prevention With people spending more time indoors as the weather cools, Bilello said they have products that can help with the coronavirus and keep families safe. “We have UV lights and ionization (equipment) that can kill the virus,” he said. “We’re really recommending it now that fall’s coming. We’re due to have another surge this fall and winter and this can really protect you. It can provide a sanctuary. They will also help with allergies and help make people more comfortable.” Air Systems Inc. is owned by Devin Bilello’s father, Ross Bilello. The family-owned and operated business has been providing HVAC services in the community for 30 years. Devin Bilello said he hopes to continue on with the family tradition when he dad retires.

thermostat by 2 or 3 degrees if you have humidity in the house.” Having the ducts cleaned in the home is another energy-saver, Bilello said. “We recommend duct cleaning all year long,” he said. “But again, when heading into the heating season, if you haven’t had it done in a while, now’s a good time to have it done.” Bilello said there are two kinds of duct cleaning, in his mind – the companies that charge $200 and have it done in a “couple of hours” or the companies, like Air Systems, that come out with two employees who work for eight hours and really “dig into the duct system.” “You can’t get them clean like they should be without the man hours and you can’t do that for $200,” Bilello said. “You have to get in there and really sanitize the ductwork so there’s no mold or bacteria growing. When it’s done, it should be almost be like brand new.”
HOMES & DESIGN • HOME BUYER, OWNER & RENTER
Tips from a pro Other ways homeowners can save on heating (and cooling) costs is to inspect and replace furnace filters regularly, Bilello said. “Check it every month, going into the heating season with a dirty filter can do damage to the system,” he said. “For a boiler furnace, check the outside PVC pipes to make sure they are free and clear of any debris and in winter clear the snow from around them so you don’t get a blockage, that can shut the furnace off.” Bilello also recommends having a humidifier or humidity system in the home. “Humidity is amazing,” he said. “It can help lower utility costs and keep the home more comfortable. It also helps with allergies, bloody noses from the dry air and dry skin. For comfort in the winter months you can usually drop the

While there are many ways By Tracy homeowners can lower their Ouellette heating costs with do-it-yourself EDITOR projects, one of the best ways to save money, and protect the people living in a home, is to have the furnace inspected annually. “The big thing we recommend is annual maintenance on you furnace or boiler,” said Devin Bilello, manager at Air Systems Inc. in Delavan. “This is a really big thing with heating equipment because we are now in an age where the majority of heating systems are highefficiency with lots of drains and small things that really need to be checked. If just one of those drains plugs up, you have no service.” Bilello said having a professional HVAC contractor come into the home and thoroughly check out the system can also be a lifesaver. “One of the main things we really look for when we come out is the safety aspect,” he said. “We’ve invested in high-end cameras to make sure we see everything. Things can crack and split internally and if those are missed, it’s a health risk to the family because carbon monoxide can leak into the house. Bilello said now is the time to call in an HVAC contractor to check out a home’s heating system. “The last thing you want is to turn the system on for the first time and find out it doesn’t work,” he said. “We had a lady who turned her furnace on for the first time and it didn’t run and she called us. The safeties on the furnace were working and it wouldn’t turn on because the carbon monoxide was through the roof. She was really lucky the safeties were working, it probably saved her life.”
