Problem: Houses are Leaky Result: Impacts of a Leaky Home Solution: ENERGY STAR Home Sealing ? Benefits of ENERGY STAR Home Sealing Saves Money: Cut energy bills by up to 10% (about $150 a year for an average home) Improves Comfort: Homes are more comfortable and energy efficient during extreme temperatures Blocks Outdoor Pollutants: Reduce the number of holes where dust, pollen, pollution, and pests can enter the home Reduces Outside Noise: A tighter, well-insulated home helps makes the home quieter Steps: How to Get Started Find and plug air leaks Plug the big holes first – usually in the attic and basement Add Insulation Acts like a blanket to keep the home warm and….. if you want to replace/upgrade windows Choose ENERGY STAR qualified windows that are appropriate for your climate Associated Products Caulk Application: Use to form a flexible seal along small gaps (up to ?”) Types of Products: Acrylic-latex Silicone indoor/outdoor caulk Heat resistant caulk for use around hot flues and chimneys Related Tools: Caulk gun Expanding Spray Foam Application: Use for wider gaps (1/2” to 3”), cracks along sill, and around electrical outlets, plumbing penetrations, and dryer vents Product Types: Latex based – best for use indoors Urethane – more durable, water resistant, use for outdoors  Related Tools: Rubber gloves, eye protection, old clothes Weather stripping Application: Weather stripping can be used for windows or doors Product Types: Rubber or foam strips for windows and doors Door sweeps and door thresholds Electrical outlet sealers Insulation Application: Insulation resists the transfer of heat through walls, ceiling, or floor Resistance is measured in R-value A higher R-value means more resistance allowing for greater comfort during extreme temperatures R-value can drop if air flows through or around insulation Product Types: Fiberglass rolls and batts Loose-fill fiberglass or cellulose Rigid foam board for covering big hol
