Cold Weather Minute: Seal Doors and Windows with Weatherstripping to Save on Energy Bills
January 22, 2010
If you had a 6-inch-square hole in the middle of your front door, you would certainly do something about it. Yet there are thousands of homes in which a 1/8-inch-wide crack exists all the way around the door, and this gap is nearly the equivalent air loss of a 6-inch-square hole. Fortunately, weatherstripping can reduce your heating bills by as much as 30 percent while reducing drafts. For information about adding weather stripping to your doors and windows, visit www.ColumbiaGasMd.com or call 1-888-460-4332.
