DIY Weatherization Tips
DIY Weatherization Tips
Weatherizing your home is an easy, cost effective way to keep the cold out & the warm air inside your home.
Your home stays warmer and you use less energy, saving you money on your energy bills!
Plus it's better for the planet 🌍 and helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
To weatherize your home against the cold outside, you need "air sealing" to stop cold air coming in through gaps & cracks in your home and "insulation" to keep the heat inside your home.
Here are just a few things you can do to weatherize your home:
