What the housing means for the work
- Some older houses. About 16 percent predate 1940, so some jobs start by removing old layers.
- Newer homes. 30 percent were built in 2000 or later. Here the work is mostly first remodels.
- Seasonal homes. 43 percent of Newbury homes are held for seasonal or occasional use. A roof leak or ice dam in an empty house can go unseen all winter, so check the roof and attic before the snow.
- Delivered fuel. 81 percent of Newbury households heat mainly with oil or propane, so heat kept in by an air-sealed attic is fuel you do not have to buy.
- Wood heat. 10 percent heat mainly with wood. Around chimneys we keep roofing, siding and insulation work to the required clearances.
