2. Air leakage
Air leakage can attribute to 25% of winter heat loss from your home. For example, 30%of homes do not have adequate door seals, despite this being a simple and easy solution to keep out the winter chill.
Other sources of air leakage results from unsealed gaps and cracks around doors and windows, exhaust fans, air vents, roof access hatches, floorboards, open fireplaces and chimneys.
Draughts create rattling and whistling in doors and windows, as well as cold breezes in winter.
