Air Leaks Infographic
Common Sources of Air Leaks
Did you know heating and cooling costs are the largest energy expense for most homes? These costs account for around 48% of the energy use in a typical home. In the winter, cold air can leak in near the bottom of the home while warm air escapes near the top -- this is the “stack effect.” Here are the key leaky areas:
Duct Register
Dropped Soffit
Recessed Light
Attic Hatch
Wind Washing
Windows
Doors
Rim Joist
Dryer Vent
