520 _aThis book explains how to "weatherize" your home for maximum energy savings year-round. Proper insulation not only will lower your fuel and electrical bills, it will increase the comfort of your home and, ultimately. its resale value. The author tells how to figure your home's present state of insulating efficiency, how to determine your needs and choose from the available options. Clear, illustrated instructions show how to install batts, how to blow insulation into finished walls, how to apply weatherstripping and caulk in strategic places, how to install storm windows and doors. Most of these jobs are simple: when they're not there's fair warming and sound advice on how to get a contractor to do the job properly. With the know-how this book provides, you'll be able to plug the leaks in your home that are wasting energy.
