IDT Energy understands that your money is
hard-earned. For this reason, they offer
the lowest possible prices for electric and gas services. While reducing your bills in these areas,
they also want to help you to save money in your home overall. One problem in the home that might be costing
you unnecessarily is cold air leaks.
These often occur around windows, doors, electrical outlets, light
fixtures and gaps in corners.
Such cold air leaks can cause rooms to feel drafty
and can cause you to spend more heating the home than is necessary. Here are a few ways to deal with such air
leaks. You can use air sealing to stop
drafts. A contractor can help you to
identify where your air leaks are originating and can help you to close these
gaps.
Similarly, it’s a good idea to ask the heating and
cooling contractor to check the ducts for air leaks and to look for a balanced
airflow. Finally, if you have a
fireplace, you should certainly close the damper when the fireplace is not in
use.
