Our Leaks Are Sealed - Weatherproofing Your Home
Sealing air leaks around your house is the first step in a program to improve the energy efficiency of your home. The energy, time, and money you spend will pay for itself quickly—often in one winter!
If you live in an older house that has not been fully weatherized, somewhere between 20% and 50% of your heating bills can be attributed to air leakage alone!
Air infiltrates into and out of your home through every hole and crack. About one-third of this air infiltrates through openings in your ceilings, walls, and floors. One of the quickest ways you can save on your heating and cooling bill is to caulk, seal, and weatherstrip all seams, cracks, and openings to the outside.
