As winter approaches, don’t let energy — and money — slip through the cracks. Air leaks around windows, unsealed duct work and poorly insulated attics are common culprits in energy waste and one of the most overlooked opportunities for savings in American homes.
Reports show up to $400 a year can be lost before it has a chance to heat your home. That’s energy you’re paying for but not using.
Simple upgrades like sealing ceilings, windows and doors with caulk or weather stripping can help keep cold air out in the winter. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, these improvements can reduce energy use by up to 30% while making your home more comfortable year-round.
Here’s the good news: We can help through our no-cost home Weatherization Program. Simple upgrades like sealing windows and doors or adding attic insulation can reduce energy use and increase savings by up to 30%, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
