        "text": "Yes, replacing damaged or deteriorated exterior window sills can contribute to improved energy efficiency in your home. Old or compromised sills can create gaps and pathways for air leaks, allowing heated or cooled air to escape and outside air to enter. A properly installed new sill, with effective sealing, eliminates these drafts, which reduces the workload on your HVAC system. This improvement is a direct first-party insight from our work: we often find that addressing deteriorated sills is a key step in reducing energy waste around windows. While not a primary energy upgrade like new windows, it's an important component of a well-sealed building envelope.",
