HOME ENERGY SOLUTIONS

If want a low-cost, simple way to lower the energy bill in your house, condo or apartment, the easiest do-it-yourself improvement is to insert foam wall plate insulators in the back of each wall plate. The purpose of using foam wall plate insulators is to seal and insulate outlet and switch covers, which creates a block against the outdoor air, which finds its way into the home by penetrating wall cavities. Wall plate insulators work by retaining the conditioned air inside the living space. In almost every home that is depressurized, a blower door test will confirm that every outlet, switch, and GFI wall plate receptacle (including inner walls) will introduce air from outside of the living space, and needs sealing/insulating since electrical wiring and plumbing run across all walls, including interior walls central to the home. Unaddressed, these areas contributes to a heating/cooling loss by up to twenty percent... Fiberglass insulation does not block air from coming into your living..
