Lower you heating oil bills by purchasing a thermal leake detector and start saving money now.
Wonder why your heating bills are high even though you've done everything you can think
of to make your home airtight?
You could hire a pro to do a home energy audit, which will set you back $100 to $400. (Some utility companies offer free audits, but they may not be as comprehensive.) Or you could buy a thermal leak detector.
Current models, such as the Black & Decker Thermal Heat Detector, accurately pinpoint where energy seepage is happening. (Two common trouble spots: around outlets and light fixtures.)
"This is a good way to find places where the insulation may have settled," says Tom Simchak, a research associate at the Alliance to Save Energy.
Once you identify problem zones, you or a pro can seal them.
Typical cost: $50 Annual energy savings: $220 Pays for itself within: 5 months
