In the event that the cold usually associated with Winter ever arrives...

Next Tuesday (December 22) is the first day of Winter. The weather forecast shows we'll likely have 57 degree temperatures. Hmmm. Winter, huh? Might be a rather warm Christmas!?!
Well, anyhow, if the cold usually associated with winter ever arrives, you may want to check out this tip from Charles Hendricks, an architect in Harrisonburg who performs energy audits.
Seal your electrical outlets to improve your home comfort
As Charles points out....
"In every house I visit to do an energy audit, the electrical outlets have been a major source of air infiltration. Sealing these holes up in your thermal envelope will reduce your energy usage and make your home more comfortable."Have you sealed your electrical outlets? How long did it take? How much did it cost? Did you experience the difference?
