The cheapest efficiency work in the house

Weatherstripping is the sealing of gaps around doors and windows, thus preventing air leaks. While individual gaps are minor, all the gaps in a home can account for a large amount of energy loss. These weatherstrips will help maintain a consistent indoor temperature, and reduce the need for both heating and cooling.

  • Does weatherstripping help in summer too?

    Yes. It stops conditioned air escaping in either direction, so the benefit runs year-round.
