All of these improvements aim for one .simple goal: to prevent heat from moving in the wrong direction. During cold weather, heat must be kept from leaving home; and in the season, heat must be prevented from coming inside. It pays to control heat flow. EEI reports that upgrading a poorly insulated older home to adequate standards can reduce its energy bill for heating and cooling by as much as upgrading a moderately insulated new home can save 20 to 30 per- cent on its heating and cooling bills. The initial cost may be paid back by energy savings in as little as two to seven years. Caulking is probably the easiest job. All it takes is a caulking g gun, cartridges of thick-flowin- caulking compound, and a little practice. Its purpose is to fill up cracks around door and window frames or anywhere that air flows between inside and outside. Cracks may be found by feeling for air flow inside, especially on a windy day, or by using a flashlight at night to see if light shines through to the other side. placed. Cracks or gaps may also be closed by weatherstripping, pressed against surfaces or into openings. A small crack may not seem like a problem, but a little arithmetic is enlightening. If a inch door is surounded by a gap only 116-inc- h wide, that gap totals more than IS square inches in area. Thats like having a hole the size of a brick through the wall. It pays, obviously, to close it. In fact, air leakage may claim up to 30 or 40 percent of a homes annual heating and cooling costs. Good insulation is equally important, and the easiest areas to insulate are usually an unheated attic and a floor over an unheated basement or crawl space. The insulation is installed on the unheated side, with a vapor barrier facing the heated side to prevent moisture from coming through and condensing inside the insulation. Where appropriate, loose insulation may be poured over a tely-installed vapor barrier. Insulating batts or blankets with attached vapor barriers need only be unrolled, cut to length and, if 40-by-- separa- Wonderful Windows For Your Home We Feature: e Windows & Custom Frames Glass Screens Windshield Installation SANDER'S GLASS COMPANY For All Your Glass Needs c 75 N.
