Seal Air Ducts
Check for cracks around windows, doors, and electrical outlets that are located on an exterior wall.
Prevent Leaking
Check sink, dishwasher and refrigerator water lines for leaks or deterioration and replace any items that appear worn. Check water heater or rust, which may indicate a leak.
Check for Cracks
Using incense or a smoke stick can help you find smaller cracks. Watch where the smoke goes to see if any air is escaping your home.
Add weather stripping
Putting weather stripping around doors and windows can save you 10% on your heating and cooling bill and prevent energy from being wasted.
Want to go even further? Update your light bulbs to LED and install a low-flow showerhead. Mother earth will thank you!
