How to Lower Heating Bills by Insulating Your Home There is nothing green about paying bills unless you pay them online or the company provides recycled envelopes. But you know there is another envelope you should take a close look at and that’s the thermal envelope of your home which is your living space. It is important to have proper insulation. Otherwise, you got a real problem with that envelope. Up to 40% of a home’s heat loss or gain is due to leaks. Insulating the attic is only the start. You need to make sure all gaps around windows and doors are sealed. The areas around plumbing pipes as well as heating and cooling lines also need to be sealed. Don’t forget about any electrical switches and outlets on exterior walls. You’d really be surprised at how big in an energy loss they can cause. Simple gaskets can take care of them and it will be one of the cheapest improvements you can make.
