Energy Tips:
-
Seal around
windows,
doors,
electrical
outlets, and
any other
places that
can be a
source for
an air leak.
-
On the
outside of
your home,
use a high
quality
caulk to
seal around
all windows
and doors
where the
frames meet
exterior
siding or
brick.
-
There are
probably
many other
areas of
your
exterior
that may
need to be
caulked as
well. If you
have any
loose glass
panes in a
window, use
a glazing
compound to
reseal them.
-
Inside your
home, use
weather
stripping
and gaskets
to seal
around the
moving parts
of windows
and doors
and around
electrical
outlets.
-
If you take
care of
these air
leaks now,
you will be
able to
enjoy the
summer in
the cool
comfort of
your home.
