How to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient TIP # 2


Seal air leaks
            Time to climb... up into that attic and down into the basement!  The gaps in the insulation are costing you money... period.  New homes are no exception either.  Homes are built better and better every year however, one small gap in the insulation during the install process will act as energy faucet.  Older homes tend to get hit harder when it comes to insulation concerns.  Often times our HVAC professionals will come into contact with an insulation gap created by mice or other varmints that may have been there for years.  Patching up these holes will go a long way in not only controlling the cost of heating or cooling your home but also keeping that system from cycling on and off so often will prevent wear and tear.
            If you would rather not spend the afternoon in the attic or basement of your home or business... we can understand.  Give us a call and one of our professional HVAC technicians would be glad to have a look for you.  Together we can get your homes leaks patched up and ready for the season.
