Drafts can drive up your energy bill faster than you could say “Is it chilly in here or is it just me?” It’s not just you. Air drafts can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare, making your home more than uncomfortable. Luckily, there are ways to stop those air drafts in their tracks.
You can start by tacking out the window and door trims and insulate properly to keep the airflow out once and for all. Another solution would be to install a draft stopper on doors and windows to prevent heat from escaping. Your chimney can also cause draft problems, so you might also need a fireplace draft stopper.
A carbon footprint is the overall amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated by the production, use and lifespan of a product or service. Making an eco-friendly home improvement like reducing your home’s carbon footprint will not only make you feel better about yourself for helping the environment, but it will also reduce your energy costs.
Easy and efficient ways to lower your household’s carbon emissions and help slow the impact of climate change is to replace incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs, dry your clothes on a line instead of using a dryer, reduce the cooling load on your home, use the AC less often and unplug your devices when not in use.
