|
| no doubt be struggling with the huge
| |
| | of heating and cooling loss in the home.
|
| increases in costs that are heading your
| |
| | Air leaks occur through the small cracks
|
| way. Heating oil, like gasoline, are
| |
| | around doors, windows, pipes, and outside
|
| tied very closely together in price and
| |
| | electrical outlets. A good way to seal
|
| we all know what the price of gas has
| |
| | the electric plugs is to pick up some
|
| done over the last few years.The absolute
| |
| | plug gaskets and install on all outside
|
| best way to help insulate yourself from
| |
| | electrica outlets. These are simply a
|
| fnancial ruin due to rediculously high
| |
| | thin rubber about the shape of the outlet
|
| home heating bills this winter is to
| |
| | cover that fits over the plug and seals
|
| insulate your home instead. Imagine
| |
| | around the outlet and the cover.3. Doors

| leaving a window open all winter long.
| |
| | are a special problem because you can't

| The heat loss, cold drafts, and wasted
| |
| | simply seal it up. They need to opena

| energy would drive everyone crazy. If

| | and close regularly and seal.
|
| however you add up all the places where

| | the door is a good way to seal out the
|
| home, it would probably be equal to
| |
| | leaks around ouside doors. Another
|
| leaving a window open all winter long.
| |
| | suggestion is to take fabric material,
|
| The reason why you don't feel it so much
| |
| | cut 2 pieces about 3 inches wide and make
|
| is that instead of a big hole like an
| |
| | it 6 inches longer than your door
|
| open window, you have a large number of
| |
| | opening. So if the door is 46 inches,
|
| very small leaks. This is analagous to
| |
| | you want 2 pieces of fabric 3 inches by
|
| having every faucent in your home
| |
| | 42 inches. Sew the fabric together along

| dripping in relation to simply running

| | will give you a pocket similar to a

| | out so the finished seams look good, and

| from your home. Often overlooked, there
