DIY Weatherization Tips
DIY Weatherization Tips
Weatherizing your home is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to stay warm, save money, and reduce your environmental impact. By sealing gaps and cracks (air sealing) and adding insulation, you can keep the cold out, the heat in, and your energy bills down—all while helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Powered by Fraser Valley Ace Hardware, your trusted local resource for weatherization supplies and expert advice. Visit them for everything you need to get started.
