Cover and seal all holes that lead from the bathroom plumbing, ductwork, or electrical runs.
Improving your homes “shell” or “envelope” is one of the most important things you can do to maximize your home’s energy efficiency to reduce energy bills. In the bathroom for example, sealling around windows, baseboards, & floors can help avoid mold & moisture issues.
In the winter months, replace your screens with storm windows to provide an extra barrier to the cold outside air. Weather stripping and caulk can prevent air leakage from doorframes.
In replacing windows, choose ENERGY STAR models designed for your area, and save up to $95 dollars each year on energy cost. With proper installation ensuring all gaps are sealed, ENERGY STAR qualified windows can help improve your comfort, cut down drafts, and reduce wear and tear on your interior furnishings.
