Losing Heat

I keep hearing this over and over, but it amazes me that I still find ways I haven't listened. The smallest of cracks or non-insulated areas in a home can loose heat (or cool air in the summer) and thus loose tons of money. I noticed my heating bill was quite a bit higher this past month than a year ago. Granted, the weather has been markedly cooler over a year ago - but as I have been on the lookout in recent days for cracks and seeps, I keep finding more and more. And why can my family not come in and out of a door quickly? Why do they have to stand there with the door wide open, yelling, or hanging out, or doing who knows what?

So - keep looking for seeping air. Even when you think you have it covered, you'll find more. And good luck on keeping the kids and husband from opening outside doors constantly :)
