Air Sealing Means Owning Your Heat.

[Green Home]

You've got a great house. But chances are it's riddled with holes, gaps and leaks. Some lead to the outside, providing neat little doggy-doors for ladybugs, flies, and cold (or warm) air. Some lead to the upper-reaches of your house – providing opportunities for warm, moist air to travel from the basement to the attic, where the moisture collects, creating ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and rot.

We aren't telling you this to freak you out. (Halloween was last week). We're telling you this because it's completely avoidable. This hump day, get your Rosie-the-Riveter on, grab a caulk or foam gun, and start sealing up the problematic holes and leaks in your house. The difference will blow your doors off.

Pledge to become friends with air-sealing tools that keep the air you want in and keep the air (and bugs) you don't want, out. Sealing up the leaks in your house will have a profound impact on your energy bill, and an even bigger impact on the comfort of your house. A few hours spent sealing up the cracks, gaps and leaks in your house will do more than reduce drafts and make your house more comfortable. It will help your house last longer.

Come see how the pros do it at the Habitat for Humanity Restore on Wendover Road. 10am -2pm Nov 14th.
