Find the leaks in your energy budget - free energy efficiency guides available

For Release: Oct. 25, 2007

Reduce your household energy bill by making some simple energy-saving weatherization and insulation improvements to your home.

Test for leaks
The first step to weatherizing your home is performing a detailed inspection of your home for air leaks.  You can do this yourself during a windy day or hire a professional energy auditor to identify where heat loss is occurring in your home or how to stop it.  Before hiring an energy auditor, check with your local utility company; it may offer free energy audits to customers.
