Paneling in a House

When looking at a house that has paneling, always try to determine if there is drywall behind it. This can be a big energy expense if there is none. During the cool months ,these rooms tend to not keep the heat in, thus causing your heating bill to rise. During the summer your rooms will not stay as cool, causing you to use fans or a/c to keep it comfortable. Always consider the cost of redoing the walls when considering a price on a house. Many times you will have to upgrade the insulation also.
