Seal Up Cracks and Gaps
In the event you added up all the modest cracks, gaps, and holes about the outside of the average residence, it would equal the location of an open window! To minimize the loss of heat, carefully inspect the perimeter of your house and caulk or weather-strip where required. Both caulking and weather stripping can minimize the flow of cold air in and warm air out-lowering your energy costs substantially.



Check the following key areas for leaks:

Around door and window frames.
Exterior openings which includes electrical outlets, phone lines, outside faucets, and cable Television lines.
Around heating and/or cooling units.
The seal around room air conditioners.
At corners formed by siding.
Openings about drain pipes in bathrooms and kitchens.
