Stopping Drafts Saves Money

We all know that stopping drafts saves money both with cooling and heating but here are a couple of tips and a review of the door bottom seals.

Do not heat any unnecessary rooms. Close and seal heat registers and air returns. Be sure to whether-strip doors to these less-heated areas.

Weather-strip, insulate, and seal all access doors to unused and cold attic areas. Investigate and find the areas of heat loss, then determine how to slow the flow of heat and your money.

We have all seen the TV ads for the Twin Draft Door Guard that comes as a 36" twin draft door guard. You just slide it under the door to start blocking outside air and locking in comfortable indoor temperatures. This smart home climate-solution features a patented hook-and-loop closure for a custom fit under most doors. Basement doors, garage doors, exterior doors and double-hung windows are no match for the draft-stopping power of the 36" twin draft door guard.

The Consumer Search website finds the Twin Draft Guard works wonders in blocking out drafts, but only if you have the right door, reviewers say. The foam tubes are easy to trim to the proper size, and installing the Twin Draft Guard beneath a door is simple. If the space between the door and floor is small enough, and the floor isn't carpeted, the Twin Draft Guard tends to stay in place and successfully blocks drafts from homes.

Users who have larger gaps between their doors and floors find that the Twin Draft Guard doesn't work for them. At best, it doesn't create an airtight seal; at worst it tends to either get stuck under the door, or the door opens right over it. Those who have carpeted floors also find that the Twin Draft Guard gets stuck on the carpeting, rather than gliding smoothly over it like the commercial demonstrates.
