Tips to save money and energy

Increase comfort and energy savings by making sure all exterior walls, ceilings, roofs, and wall cavities are adequately insulated.

Common air leakage points to check and seal include:

  • The areas around plumbing, electrical, and duct work in exterior walls 
  • Any openings to spaces like an attic 
  • Gaps between interior and exterior walls and ceiling sheetrock 
  • Any sheetrock areas, including between interior and exterior walls and where sheetrock is sealed to the subfloor 
  • Openings around windows 
  • Floors, including cantilevered floors and band joist areas in floor systems 
  • Knee walls in cape-style roof structures 
  • Joints between existing buildings and additions or modular buildings
