If your local paper features Jim Dulley's columns, you're in luck. He is dedicated to energy savings and new innovations that directly benefit today's homeowner. Visit his website here to see what he's doing today.
I especialy liked his article in last Sunday's Lancaster News entitled "Where are the air leaks in your house?".
Jim talks about the window & doors of your home and how air can leak through them, causing potentially significant loss of energy. He discusses caulking and the different types of caulk (who'd be thinking about THAT?) that will best seal your home. I particularly liked his point about how leaks are common where two different materials come together, and where pipes and other tubing exit to the outside. Be sure to open the cabinet under the sink and also behind the furnace/hot water heater where a technician may have left an opening to the outside when installing or replacing a vent pipe, etc. Check back often at Jim's website to get lots of simple, inexpensive energy-saving techniques.
