Let's explore the idea of air sealing. 99% of homeowners think that all they need is insulation on the other side of the ceiling to keep their home comfortable. Yes, insulation is important- it helps to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer by controlling heat that is transferred by way of conduction. Try thinking about the relationship between insulation and air sealing as a "sweater and windbreaker" partnership. Pretend that you're going outside on a winter day. The temperature is about 25 degrees with a 15 to 20 mph breeze blowing.
You can extend the life of your water heater by performing regular maintenance. Sometimes a minor repair can be done easily by the home owner. However, some repairs, such as replacing a pressure-relief valve or heating element require an experienced technician. However, if you have a leak, if your water heater is older than 8-12 years, or you just wish to upgrade and cut your energy expense, it may be time for a new water heater. Hot water heaters older than 10 years that have leaks around the base of the tank, or just do not properly heat your water should be replaced.

Adding insulation, or retrofitting, is a very cost effective way to dramatically improve your homes efficiency and increase an attic's R value. R-value of insulation is a term that describes the ability of a material to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation. Technically, R-value is measured in °F - square foot - hour/Btu. Newer homes may have been cheated by the builder, either by not installing enough or not properly installing the insulation, or leaving gaps or valleys in the insulation.
