Air Leaks May Be The Cause of Your High Utility Bills

Sealing and insulating the "envelope" or "shell" of your home — its outer walls, ceiling, windows, doors, and floors — is often the most cost effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort. A high percentage (20-30%) of the the money you spend to heat your home in the winter and cool your home in the summer might be escaping. One of the best ways to find out if your home is too leaky, too tight, or just right is by doing an energy audit.

Icicles hanging from your home may mean heat loss

Did you know that icicles hanging from your home may mean that heat is escaping from your roof? When hot air rises and your attic is not properly insulated, the hot air melts the snow near the peak of the roof. The melted snow runs away from the heat and freezes towards the end of the roof or gutter. If this is happening to your home you may need insulation or air sealing.
