        "text": "Yes, absolutely. Old or damaged siding and flashing around windows can lead to air leaks and inadequate insulation. When replacing siding, new flashing and weather-resistant barriers are installed, sealing gaps and preventing drafts. This significantly reduces heat transfer, making your home more comfortable and lowering heating and cooling costs. It's a key component of a well-insulated and energy-efficient building envelope.",
