Buying a home is a pivotal moment in the life of any home or condo owner. And when it comes time to buy a new home, any conscientious buyer will want to take every step to get the most out of their real estate investment. A great way to do this is to opt for a Novoclimat home. Read our article as we present 3 reasons to buy a Novoclimat home.

1. For more comfort and less drafts
Drafts do nothing to make a home comfortable, but the good news is that you won’t find any in a Novoclimat home. Why not? Well, because the building envelope from the basement to the attic is tested to ensure that it is airtight. The walls and roof are built using more efficient techniques to increase the watertightness of the Novoclimat house and reduce the risk of mold.

2. To breathe healthier indoor air
To reduce drafts to a minimum, Novoclimat homes must be more airtight than homes built according to the basic standards of the building code. To compensate for this, Novoclimat homes come with an HRV, a heat recovery air exchanger, which must meet high performance standards. Also, with Novoclimat, the installation of the HRV is optimal and, consequently, it is balanced and this calibration is verified by the advisor during his inspection. This is precisely what is needed if we want to obtain better air quality and thus avoid health and humidity problems.

3. To lose less heat through the doors and windows
Hydro-Quebec mentions that simply changing old wooden windows for a newer, more energy efficient model can pay off. The government company estimates that this improvement allows a reduction of the expenses related to the heating of the order of 10%, which translates into approximately 500$ of economy annually. The Novoclimat program solves this problem at the source, because only the use of ENERGY STAR certified windows and doors for the climate zone in which they are installed is allowed.
