By weatherstripping your home you're not only saving money, you're conserving energy and doing your part to help the environment.
Did you know:
The average family needs to heat a home for six months out of the year. About 30 percent of a home's heat escapes through small cracks and holes that are not always easily detected. Sealing your home can translate into an annual household savings of 5-30% on the cost of fuel bills.
Older homes are especially vulnerable to drafts, but even new homes can develop drafts as they settle. It's smart to check for drafts in any home, regardless of age, and it's easy!
Read on to learn how to identify draft-prone areas of your home, what products are available to insulate against winter's cold, and what you can do to save energy, save money, and save the environment.
The U.S. Department of Energy has many energy saving ideas, too.

In order to work properly, heat registers, radiators & other heaters need to have space. Move your furniture, draperies and other items away from heat sources so they can do their job. |
