The Benefits of Weather stripping
Many older homes, and even some newer ones, have numerous little cracks, holes
and spaces through which warm air escapes and cold air enters during the winter.
In the summer this works in reverse: unwanted hot air enters and welcomed cool
air escapes. All these little drafts of air can make a home uncomfortable in the
winter and could cause ill health.
Air leaks can also damage the house's
insulation, because warm, moist air leaving the house dampens the insulation and
reduces its heat-resisting effectiveness. And, of course, all that cold air
entering the house means you have to raise the thermostat setting to keep warm.
This forces the furnace to work harder and use more fuel to keep indoor air at a
comfortable temperature.
