Environmental Tip # 3

Have your home draught proofed. It's inexpensive and helps immensely in the summer months to keep the hot air out, and in winter to keep the warm air in. Draught proofing could mean having gaps and cracks filled or door and windows sealed. It also stops whatever cooling device (air conditioner, fans etc) from working overtime and having all the cool air sucked outside through gaps in the building structure. Anywhere there are spider webs is a good indication that there is a draught present.
