Detecting air leaks doesn’t require advanced tools – these simple methods can help you find problem areas:

• Hold a piece of tissue paper near windows, doors or outlets. If it moves, there’s likely a draft.
• Close a dollar bill in a window or door frame. If you can easily pull it out, the seal isn’t tight enough.
• Light an incense stick and hold it near suspected leaks. Watch the smoke – any disturbance indicates airflow.
• Use your hands to feel for drafts around windows, doors, baseboards, and attic hatches, especially on windy days.

Of course, you can also call professionals like Fast Response Heating & Cooling to run detailed tests to identify even hard-to-detect leaks.
