Sneaky energy loss doesn’t knock. It slips in through cracks and gaps that might create drafts, but often go unnoticed. With a few simple steps you can keep the cold out, the warmth in – and your energy bills under control.
To start, seal up trouble spots around windows, doors and foundations. Caulk and weatherstripping are quick fixes that make a big impact. Insulating your attic or basement can also help your home hold heat more efficiently.
Even small changes can help scare off wasted energy. For instance, close curtains at night and use draft stoppers to keep your space cozy.
These practical steps are easy to tackle and can lead to real savings, especially as temperatures drop.
