Air Sealing at Home: Keep Your $ in the House!

Check out this post from the Alliance to Save Energy. They call it it 'heat bleed.' I call it a leaky house. It is throwing money away. It is a comfort issue and it can be a health issue as well. Remember: air sealing before insulation = maximizing savings and comfort.


Right Under Your Roof: Stop the Heat Bleed is the name of the article and it has links to a mini home assessment tool called Plug. Consider using the tool and scheduling an audit and taking care of some these issues. For those in the county www.stlouiscountySAVES.com is a source for low interest energy efficiency loans and Ameren and Laclede have rebate and incentive programs as well.

This is drilling down into the details at the heart of the art of construction.
