Hi,

Everything in our homes is prone to wear and tear. There might be
some energy leak in your home that you may not be aware of. Heating
definitely accounts for the largest expense in homes, especially
during winter months. And the figure could even grow if this factor
runs inefficiently.

You could check on some key areas where heating might be wasted. Your
home heating system might already need a replacement or some tuning up
for maximized efficiency. The attic, windows and doors and other
areas should be evaluated in case home heating seeps through.
