How to Make Your Home More Comfortable TIP # 4

You got a leak... actually, you probably have more than one.  Air leaks in your home are no small matter.  Even the smallest draft created from insulation gaps will have effects throughout your home.  From the loss of heat in the winter to that same heat sneaking in during the summer, your HVAC will have to work harder to compensate for the loss.  Although older homes are more susceptible to the issue more modern homes are not exempt.  A gap in the insulation can happen during construction and unchecked will act as a small faucet of cash as the leaks continue unchecked.  Your attic as well as your basement are going to be the most prone to leaks.  The surface area of the insulation alone allows for greater leak opportunities.  Smaller opportunities for air leaks such as window seals exist as well.  Heavy traffic through doors in and out of your home can have an effect on the weather striping that creates a seal between the door and frame.  Replacing this weather stripping is fairly easy and can have immediate results.  Your local Lennox dealer will have advice on how to tackle any larger scale leaks as well as tips on keeping costs down in relation to your whole house heating and air conditioning system.  Keeping your home comfortable while keeping the expense down is one of a homeowners priorities.  Lennox knows this.  Lennox can help.
