Sealing your home to save

Thursday.

generally know the
potential hazards in in-

Some of the dangers
include insulating a home
too tightly, which can
reduce the amount of
oxygen which gels into the
house. *

Homeowners also run the
risk of illness or a fire if the
wrong kind of insulation is
used, face a build up of
condensation, which can
cause building materials to
deteriorate, if there is too
