your home’s comfort and energy effi ciency. By sealing
uncontrolled air leaks, you can expect to see savings of 10%
to 20% on your heating and cooling bills, and even more
if you have an older or especially leaky house. With this
demonstration, you’ll learn easy, cost effective ways to save
money and energy.
