Expert advice urges homeowners to assess heating systems, insulation, and weatherproofing. Check furnaces, chimneys, and fireplaces for drafts, review fuel use and heat waste, and consider insulation upgrades to cut fuel costs and improve health and comfort. If needed, consult a architect or contractor to choose a suitable, efficient system.
The guide stresses modernizing wiring to boost comfort, convenience, safety, and value. It details ceiling lights, three way switches, and multiple convenience outlets across living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, basements, recreation rooms, and laundry areas, with controls from entrances and walls and dedicated circuits for furnace and appliances.
Basements stay warmer when the fire runs, revealing heat leaks as basements hog heat. Various insulation methods and materials exist and you need not rebuild to insulate. Insulating products use asbestos, sugar cane stalks, cork, cotton, rock wool, flax, straw, gypsum, jute, kapok, lead slate, licorice roots, limestone, and other fibers. They are applied loose blown into air spaces or as bats pads and boards.
Weatherstrip the entire house focusing on attic walls and basement leaks in that order. Insulation helps, but inspect windows and frames for cracks and weatherstrip where needed to reduce heat loss and save energy.
