More ways to eliminate drafts
Outlet and light switch gaskets are small holes that can let out quite a bit of heat from your home. Inexpensive foam sheets can be installed behind existing outlet covers, or switch plates (see below).
A crack in the wall or ceiling allows heated air to escape from your home. Patch or plaster cracks as necessary.
Be sure your fireplace damper is in good working condition and closes securely. A tightly sealed glass screen can help reduce heat loss from a leaky damper in your fireplace.
Remove window/wall air conditioners during the winter when they're not in use. Otherwise, air conditioners should be tightly covered on the outside and sealed on the inside for the winter.
