| The
Benefits of Weather stripping
Many older homes, and even some newer
ones, have numerous little cracks, holes and spaces through which warm
air escapes and cold air enters during the winter. In the summer this
works in reverse: unwanted hot air enters and welcomed cool air escapes.
All these little drafts of air can make a home uncomfortable in the
winter and could cause ill health.
Air leaks can also damage the house's
insulation, because warm, moist air leaving the house dampens the
insulation and reduces its heat-resisting effectiveness. And, of course,
all that cold air entering the house means you have to raise the
thermostat setting to keep warm. This forces the furnace to work harder
and use more fuel to keep indoor air at a comfortable temperature.
