Common air leaks in a home. Source: U. EPA [Click on image to enlarge. Eligible efficiency measures are described in the categories below. Your GSFA Participating Contractor will help you choose from a checklist of eligible measures based on a basic evaluation of your home. There are many places where air can leak in or out of the home, reducing the home's energy efficiency.

Sealing attic air leaks significantly reduces drafts and can help maintain the home at optimum comfort level keeping warm air from escaping during winter months, cool air from escaping during summer months. It is one of the most cost-effective measures for saving energy. Insulation doesn't "heat" an area, it simply slows down heat movement through the building materials. Since heat will always move to a colder source, in cold climates insulation slows the heat from leaving the house and in hot climates insulation slows down the hot outside air from entering the cool inside.

The result in both climates is energy saved by keeping the air conditioner or the furnace from operating as often. There are many types and forms of insulation, and some are better than others at insulating; however, all work by using dead air spaces or cells to slow heat flow.

Air sealing and insulation go hand-in-hand in energy efficiency. Duct systems are responsible for distributing air from an air conditioner or furnace through the home.

When a certain point in the duct system is broken or damaged, the airflow capacity is decreased, resulting in higher energy costs. Poor insulation of duct systems can also contribute to energy losses in the home. Replacement of inoperative or inefficient heating and cooling equipment such as gas furnaces, air conditioners, and water heaters can greatly improve energy efficiency.
