How to Weatherstripping Check

The weatherstripping around your doors and windows forms a seal that keeps conditioned air inside and hot outside air where it belongs. Over time, this material compresses, cracks, and deteriorates, creating gaps that let your expensive cooled air escape. This inspection involves checking all exterior doors and windows for visible gaps, feeling for air leaks, and replacing worn weatherstripping. For the cost of a few dollars in materials and an hour of work, you can significantly reduce your cooling bills and improve comfort throughout your home.
