If you want to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter, you need to reduce your air infiltration.  Your energy bill could be much higher than necessary if your house is too drafty. Call Wayne-White Electric Cooperative and ask for a Blower Door Test to determine the leaks in your home’s building envelope. At a cost of just $25, members can find out exactly where their air leaks are located and take the necessary steps to correct the problem areas before the winter winds begin to blow and your heating bills go up. Watch a VIDEO CLIP of an actual test in the TV Screen below:

The Blower Door Test is a special scientific piece of equipment connected to your door that changes the building pressure in your home with a special fan. It forces the air to blow through the leaks you may have in the envelope of your home in a very noticeable manner, making it easy to identify the problem areas in your home. When you learn where the leaks are located, you can add insulation, caulking, etc. to keep out the winter chill and save money on your heating bills. The results will also save you money on your air-conditioning bill in the summer time. A Blower Door Test only takes about 45 minutes to complete, which includes a written data report. To sign-up for a Blower Door Test, call the Cooperative office at 842-2196.
