About This Guide
Feel the draft. Fix it for \$30. Save \$1000/winter.
Weatherstripping is the cheapest, highest-impact home energy upgrade. A drafty door loses as much heat per winter as a cracked window. The fix is a peel-and-stick foam seal or a door sweep, and installs in 15 minutes per door.
Walks: - Finding air leaks (incense test, thermal imaging). - Door weatherstripping: compression vs V-strip. - Door sweeps. - Threshold seals. - Window weatherstripping: spring bronze, foam, V-strip. - Caulk vs weatherstrip (different tools, different jobs).
