\"Caulking
Caulking a window is a simple way to weatherize your Louisville home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Today, our Louisville weather brings us a crisp 20 degrees on our thermometers. That’s chilly! Homeowners should (if they haven’t already) give some thought to the heat that could be escaping their homes. Saving 15% on that new sweater for Aunt Sharon is great but if you’re paying an extra 15% on your LG&E bill because of heat escaping through cracks in your house, it’s all for naught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems many look to our government for guidance far too often as some are actually calling for a “cash for caulkers” program. From today’s Wall St. Journal<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such unsexy-sounding home improvements can be some of the most lucrative in terms of energy savings and make a home far more comfortable. The federal Energy Star program estimates homeowners can save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs just by sealing and insulating, or “weatherizing” against the elements.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
