Energy bills seem to be an ongoing issue for everyone. Leaky drafts are avoidable problem that can affect your heating bills in the winter and your air conditioning in the summer time. C4U Inspections knows the obvious and hidden places to check for air seepage in your residential, commercial or strata environment. Avoid skyrocketing bills and book your home inspection so you can remain proactive in minimizing your drafts and maximizing your dollar.
Cracks and openings can occur in your window and door foundations over time. Plumbing lines, the area around your electrical panel and even every household electricity socket can be common culprits of leaky air. Water damage and age can lead to shrinking and expanding and eventual cracks over time. Caulking your problem areas and filling obvious gaps is a great place to start. Weatherstripping placed around doors and windows can insulate space with foam based materials that minimize air transfer.
What about the less obvious places? Clients are often amazed when they hold a candle up to electrical wall sockets or near their “newer windows” to discover the flame dancing wildly as it detects a major draft. Wood fireplaces are another place to be aware of. Many fireplace dampers enable a huge amount of heat to escape even when they are closed. If you notice your furnace seems to be kicking on and off constantly this winter or are already dreading this year’s upcoming air-conditioning bills; C4U Inspections on Springfield Road in Kelowna can help!
