Do You Have a Thermal Leak?

Replacement Windows save you Energy but, How do you know when you have a Thermal Leak?

A thermal leak occurs when there are gaps around your windows and doors allowing heated or cooled air to escape. It can be difficult to detect and even more difficult to calculate or approximate the amount of energy loss is occurring.

This Thermal Leak detector from Black and Decker can truly pay for itself. Use it around the house to check for leaks at windows and doors...those are usually the biggest culprits. Other areas that typical homeowners and some professionals leave out are around light switches, wall outlets, HVAC registers and HVAC ducting in the attic.

At this affordable price, it is a must have!

  1. We use these up in Massachusetts. You should see some of the temperature readings in the middle of winter. We get below zero sometimes so you can imagine how some homeowners are literally "throwing money out the window."

  2. Thermal leak is always very convenient for everyone. Air can easily do the exchange of heat by that.
