The Most Cost-Effective Energy-Saving Measure You Can Take
Heating and cooling make up nearly half of household energy use, and air leaks waste up to 30% of that energy. Air sealing is relatively inexpensive and can have a big impact on home energy efficiency and comfort.
Common sources of air leaks include gaps around windows and exterior doors, as well as holes around plumbing, wiring or ductwork in the basement or attic. Inspect your home for air leaks and seal them with caulk, weatherstripping or expandable foam insulation.
