Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A homeowner in an online forum spent fourteen thousand dollars insulating his house before winter. New attic insulation, a two-day crew, the works. His next heating bill came in almost exactly where it had been the year before.He wasn't wrong to insulate. He was wrong about the order. He spent his biggest dollars on the layer that mattered least for his house, while the air leaks that were actually draining his heat all winter, around his door frames, his rim joist, his attic hatch, went untouched.That story is why this book exists. Search 'how to weatherproof your house' and you'll find hundreds of lists: caulk your windows, add attic insulation, get a smart thermostat. None of them tell you which of those things matters most for a house like yours, or what order to do them in, or when you've spent enough on air sealing and it's time to move up to insulation, or when a five-thousand-dollar window replacement genuinely isn't worth it yet.This book gives you that missing piece: a diagnose-first, tiered spending framework that puts every dollar to work in the order that actually pays off.Inside this book: Where your home actually loses energy, and why the popular guess (windows) is rarely the biggest categoryThree levels of DIY leak-finding, from a simple hand-and-incense-stick walkthrough to knowing when a professional blower door test earns back its costThe $50 / $500 / $5,000 priority framework: exactly what to fix this weekend, what to plan for this season, and what to leave alone until the cheaper layers are doneWeatherstripping, window sealing, and attic insulation done right, including the one step, air sealing before insulating, that most homeowners skipThe harder-to-reach zones most guides ignore: rim joists, crawl spaces, and basement wallsHVAC basics every homeowner should know: filters, thermostat setback strategy, duct sealing, and why an oversized system wastes moneyA repeatable green, yellow, red decision framework for what's safely DIY and what belongs to a licensed professionalHow to actually measure whether a project worked, using a simple degree-day calculation instead of guessing from a raw utility billA full seasonal action plan so weatherproofing becomes a yearly rhythm, not a one-time projectA dedicated bonus chapter on weatherproofing an older or historic home, including the vapor barrier and over-sealing risks most books never mentionWritten in the same plain, practical voice as the rest of Walt Webber's guides, this book replaces guesswork with a system, so your next weatherproofing dollar does more than the last one did.Book 7 of the Home & Property Guides series, from the author of the Genealogy Guides and Outdoor Guides series.
