Is Your Home Drafty?

Find those leaks and seal them up! Air sealing is one of the easiest ways to improve the comfort of your home.

You can find air leaks in your home yourself by:

1).Inspecting common areas, like utility cut-throughs, gaps around chimneys and recessed lights, and unfinished spaces.

2).Conduct a DIY pressurization test or use a flashlight to detect air leaks.

3).Seal gaps by caulking connections that don’t move or weatherstrip connections that do move, for example, open and close windows or doors.

For a more thorough assessment of the air leaks in your home, you’ll want to get a professional energy audit with a blower door test.
