Prepare Your Home Against Winter & High Energy Costs

One of the best ways to prepare a home for the winter weather and high energy costs is to take time now, before winter arrives, to do some simple home maintenance.The first and most important step in weatherizing a home is to stop air leaks. If air leaks aren't stopped first, other weatherizing measures like insulation will be a waste of effort and money.

Stopping air leaks in a home can save as much as 40 percent on your home's heating and cooling costs.Source: Iowa Energy Center
