Today's Energy Store tip of the day. Insulate your water heater and turn the thermostat down to save money. By insulating your water heater you are separating it from the elements of cold in your garage and retaining the hot water. Therefore the unit is not constantly heating the water when your not using it, also turn your thermostat down to 120 degrees and that should be plenty hot enough for your needs.
Your home's insulation in your attic is most likely inadequate. You ideally should have 12-18 inches of insulation, we can add blown in fiberglass insulation by John Manville and increase your "R" value and keep the hot air out of your home and the cold air in.
By performing a blower door test and other energy audit tests, we can identify where your home is letting in the hot summer air or your heated air in the winter. The pencil test helps identify to the exact location of where your weatherstripping may be inadequate and needs to be upgraded. Your can lights in the kitchen are another source of air infiltrating your living space from the attic.
