Your Heat Is Escaping Through Gaps This Small — 12 Fixes Under $10

📕 The Home Savings Manual — 79 ways to stop overpaying for your own house: https://brendacarver.com/ Most of the heat you pay for this winter won't leave through the walls or the roof. It'll leave through gaps you could cover with your thumb: around the doors, behind the outlets, under the attic hatch. Sealing them can take ten to twenty percent off a heating bill, and almost every fix sits on the bottom shelf for a few dollars. Our grandmothers sealed up the house every October and never paid a man to do it. In this one I'll walk you through 12 cheap fixes to buy now, most of them under $10: 🔌 Foam outlet gaskets, rope caulk for the windows, and a door sweep 🚪 Weatherstrip tape, faucet covers and pipe sleeves, and a case of cheap furnace filters 🔦 Foil tape for the duct seams, a sealed attic hatch, and a foam plug for the fireplace 🪟 Spray foam for the basement, window film, and the dollar-bill and candle tests that find every draft …and number one, the cheapest thing on the whole list, which does the most. Do the tests this weekend, buy only what you find, and keep the heat in the house and your money right where it belongs. If saving money and a warmer house sound good to you, subscribe and stick around — that's what we do here every week. 💛 What turned out to be the worst draft in your house?
