We couldn’t wait to share our latest news on NET ZERO custom homes in Oakville even though we just posted on it a few days ago.

Condensation on My Windows!

With overnight temperatures in the -20c range, as we’ve seen recently, windows cool down and present a surface for moisture laden air to condense on.
