Just a few DIY insulation tips can make a big difference.
Here are a few easy DIY insulation tips that you can do this weekend.
If you can slide a dollar beneath your door, a door sweep can help stop the draft.
Do you feel cold air near light switches or outlets? You aren’t alone. Many devices are often poorly-insulated when a house is built. Use low-expanding foam to spray behind the box to fill what the builders missed.
Check your windows. New or old, they work best when they’re fully closed–and locked.
And if you can see light around your door or feel a draft, some weather stripping can help seal it tight.
The largest factor that will determine your weather stripping price is the number of windows and doors that need to have weather stripping installed. The more areas that need to be tended to, the higher the weather stripping prices will be. However, an installation professional may charge less per window if you are installing all the weather stripping in your home at one time. So, what may seem like a larger cost upfront could become much more affordable than installing weather stripping on one or two windows or doors at a time.
