That's when it's time to find those leaks and seal them. Up to 40 percent of the average home's fuel bill pays to heat escaping air. Most homes experience air changes, drafty homes more so thanwell sealed houses. In each •air change, warm igside air is replaced by cold outside air working its way through cracks, openings around doors and windows and other improperly sealed spots. To find and plug some of the leaks could translate into a 10 to 15 percent saving on fuel bills. Sealing leaks is probably the most cost-effective home energy conservation measure there is. Armed with that incentive, how do you find the leaky culprits? One way is to hire an energy professional to conduct a home pressure test. In this test, windows and other openings are closed. The air inside the house is sucked out by a large fan placed in an open doorway. W ith the house depressurized, the drafty areas are easier to detect because the air swooshes in from the outside to fill the vacuum -like space. Although that sounds interesting, a much simpler method is the do-it-yourself smoke test. Explore your house on a windy day with a burning stick of incense. Hold it in front of closed doors, windows, electrical ontkts, baseboards and other potentially drafty • spots. If the smoke wavers, seal the space. Once the leaks are found; it's time to caulk and weatherstrip. Caulking is used to fill fixed joints -- two surfaces that meet but do not. move. This includes windowframes, doorsill, baseboards and plumbing holes. (Continued on Page 24 4. WHILE YOU ARE HERE...
