What the housing means for the work
- 1980s and 1990s houses. 35 percent were built between 1980 and 1999. They were built to older energy codes, so attic air sealing is worth pairing with new windows or a roof.
- Newer homes. 30 percent were built in 2000 or later. Here the work is mostly first remodels.
- Delivered fuel. 81 percent of Sandown households heat mainly with oil or propane, so heat kept in by an air-sealed attic is fuel you do not have to buy.
