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
