There are 3 most important steps to improve your overall home energy:

 

Air Sealing:


Air leakage, or infiltration, occurs when outside air enters a house uncontrollably through cracks and openings. Properly sealing such cracks and openings in your home can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs, improve building durability, and create a healthier indoor environment for your family.

 

It is unwise to rely on air leakage for ventilation because it cannot be controlled. During cold or windy weather, too much air may enter the house. When it is warmer and less windy, not enough air may enter. Air infiltration also can contribute to problems with moisture control. Moldy and dusty air can enter a leaky house through areas as attics or foundations. This air in the house could cause health problems.
