Stop Your Youse From Leaking Money
They say, “A wo/man’s – home is their castle,” and like castles, our homes are built to protect us from the dangers of the outside world. In our suburban sanctums, we find refuge against a variety of quotidian dangers and inconveniences. Be they blizzards, burglars, bugs, or brownie-hawking girl scouts, our abodes are designed to keep dangerous and unwanted elements at bay.
But this article isn’t about ways to improve your home’s ability to keep things out – rather, we’re going to explore how well your house keeps things in.
Specifically, we’ll be focusing on how well your home traps and retains energy. Being able to prevent energy from escaping through walls, window frames, and porous insulation is pivotal to reducing your household’s energy needs – and bringing down your monthly energy bills. While most people are concerned with turning their house into a castle, today we’ll explore how to turn your domicile into a dungeon for wanderlust-stricken photons and help your castle protect its crowned Joules.

A Leaky House Leads to a Leaky Wallet
There’s a good chance that your home lacks sufficient insulation for attaining optimal energy-efficiency levels.
According to a recent study, 90% of American homes don’t have the correct amount of insulation. And, according to statisticians, there is a very good chance that if you live in America, you fall within a subset that includes 90% of its inhabitants.
Without the coverage of a comprehensively-designed system of insulation, your home may very well be emanating vital – and expensive – heat back into the world. This, in turn, results in needlessly high utility bills born from the expensive process of regenerating lost heat.
While your utility provider may relish the opportunity to sell you more energy than necessary, nobody else wins in this equation. Generating more heat or electricity through conventional methods such as coal, oil, and gas only enlarges humanity’s carbon footprint, and increased demand-side pressure on utility companies forces them to escalate their production volume. This results in prices that soar so high, they can almost touch the hole in the ozone layer created by the burning of fossil fuels as companies are forced to invest in a broader network of resources in order to make supply meet demand levels.
While energy itself is never created nor destroyed, the same cannot be said about bank accounts.
Projections by the state of Massachusetts forecast the cost of oil to rise by 17% this year, with the total price of using oil to keep a house at a comfortable temperature throughout the winter expected to total in at a bitterly uncomfortable $2278.
At prices, this high, neglecting to get the most out of the heat for which you’ve paid can have disastrous results upon your bank account and can turn “…The most wonderful time of the year,” into an ongoing financial crisis.

Though energy takes the path of least resistance, it’ll take any path available to resist your efforts to keep it confined. While some of the avenues energy takes as it makes its great escape are well-known, others are far less intuitive.
