Easy Ways to Detect Air Leaks

Easy Ways to Detect Air Leaks

Doing the necessary work to keep your home’s energy efficiency levels high is a no brainer. When you make sure your HVAC systems aren’t working harder than they have to, you’re not just saving energy, you’re saving money. One of the ways your home could be losing significant efficiency is through air leaks around your home.

The most common leaks are from drafts entering through your windows or doors. These air leaks are fairly easy to identify, but air leakage can also originate in less obvious spaces around your home. Take advantage of the suggestions below to conduct your own energy assessment.

Inside your home

First, you’ll want to look around your windows and doors. If they shake easily or you can see light coming in around the frame, they’re leaking and likely wasting energy and money, as well. Seal them with caulk or weather-stripping to eliminate the leak.

Next, search your home for cracks and gaps in the following areas:

  • Electrical outlets and light switches
  • Electrical and gas service entrances
  • Baseboards
  • Attic doors or hatches
  • Fireplaces
  • Wall and window air conditioning units
  • Cable and phone lines
  • Vents and fans

If you find air leaks around your home, take a look at the Department of Energy’s tips for sealing leaks.

Outside your house

  • Check exterior corners, making sure the two sides match up exactly and there are no gaps
  • See if there are cracks or holes around outdoor water faucets
  • Make sure siding is aligned accurately with windows and chimneys
  • Check for gaps where siding or bricks meet your foundation

An at-home energy assessment can be effective for a number of air leaks in your home, but for even more energy savings, call in a professional. Experts can conduct a comprehensive energy assessment, including a blower door test that can help detect major sources of energy loss in your home, and let you know how to fix them for improved energy efficiency. Contact Calverley Service Experts Heating and Air Conditioning in Fort Worth for a professional energy assessment at 817-380-5647.
