Li our new R-2000 home, s we left out were the drafts." Chris.& GailLazenby, R-2000 Homeowners, Stirling "I guess the best word to describe our old place was draf-ty. It was a great place. We loved it. But we could never keep it cômfortable enough. "So when we decided to buy , a new; house, we decided to go R-2000. We checked into it and found that R-2000 would do two things. Cut down on energy costs, and make the place a lot more comfortable. "The double-glazed windows are great. The ground-source heat pump gives us air conditioning conditioning in the summer, too. And thé fireplace keeps the living room cozy. "Before we couldn't imagine what it would be like living without drafts. But at time* it gets hard to remember what it was like living with them."
