        "text": "Yes, historic house repairs can significantly improve energy efficiency while maintaining historical character. This often involves upgrading insulation, repairing or weatherizing original windows, and sealing air leaks. For example, rather than replacing original windows, we can perform repairs, reglazing, and add weatherstripping, which is often more effective and historically appropriate than simple replacement. This approach balances modern comfort needs with the home's original aesthetic and preserves its historical value.",
