NOW IS THE TIME TO FILL SPOTS CAUSING HOME HEAT LOSS The early weeks of Fall are a good time to search for those spots in the house that cause heat loss. We’ve heard a lot about “R” Values in walls, ceilings and windows. Once in sulation has been added to the recommended levels, then heat loss due to air infiltration and thru the upper part of basement walls becomes more significant. In older homes, air in filtration or air exchange can easily exceed l-Vz air changes per hour. In more recently built homes where flame fuels are used for heating, the level may be in the range of % to one air change per hour. In a well built electrically heated home, it is probably closer to Vz air change per hour. In most homes, 3/8 to Vz air change per hour is about all that is needed. In a well-insulated home, heating an air change of one per hour could represent art sale, sculpture, pain tings, a santuary, a cruise to Israel, Haifa gift shop, carmel winery, jaffa frozen foods, trifles and treasures shop, La Fleur plant stand, kitchen kettle, and a jewelry outlet, as well as the Tel Aviv cafe.

All > J ay parking is available in city parking garages. about 40 per cent of the fuel bill. Since this aspect of home heating is so significant, it then becomes most important to cut down on air leaks wherever possible. Weatherstripping around doors and windows is one very important way to reduce air infiltration. Caulking around doors and windows on the outside is also very important.

Caulking at this point and insulating the upper part of the foundation wall can save considerable heat loss from the basement. There is very little on the foundation. Filling insulation into these spaces cuts down heat loss considerably. 505 E. Main St, New Holland Ph: 717-354-2214
