Potential homebuyers are increasingly interested in buying houses that are energy efficient and are willing to pay a little more for them. But more importantly, having your hard-earned money going out a leaky door or window is frustrating. Not only is it costly, it also increases the carbon footprint and contributes to global warming. With our provincial and federal governments and Sustainable Housing leading the cause of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it is getting easier to see where effective, quick building upgrades can be made.
The following is a list of areas around your home to look for leaks:
- Attic hatch
- Ceiling penetrations into attic
- Doors
- Exhaust vents
- Mail slot
- Sill and header
- Service entries
- Floor drain
- Foundation cracks
- Electrical outlets
- Windows Chimney
