But hidden air leaks in attics, basements and around chimneys are often more significant sources of energy loss. Address these big leaks first because they will have a greater impact on improving your comfort and reducing your utility bills. Home sealing is one of the most cost-effective ways to make a home more comfortable and energy efficient -- and you can do it yourself.
