Extreme cold temperatures lead many to crank up their thermostats, but drafty homes waste heat and raise energy costs. Key areas prone to drafts include attics, basements, and rooms with exterior doors and windows. Experts recommend sealing gaps in doors, windows, and other overlooked areas like laundry rooms and garages to improve insulation. Addressing these drafty spots not only keeps homes warm but also reduces heating bills, allowing homeowners to save money for other comforts during chilly months.
"Attics are the usually place with the greatest heat losses, especially those with poor insulation,... Other rooms with exterior doors or windows are often drafty..."
"Don't forget about laundry rooms with dryer vents, kitchens with range hood vents, and even garages connected to living spaces. These overlooked areas can significantly contribute to heat loss."
