How to use and the benefits of this kit

Help the environment, save energy, and save money with growandmake.com’s Energy & Weatherization Kit. By weatherizing your home and conserving energy, you decrease the demand on fossil fuels and preserve natural resources for future generations. You also minimize global warming potential and decrease risks to health by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Because we pay for the energy we use, by using less energy for electricity and heat we have more money left to spend on other things.

Door Draft Stopper Sweep
By using door draft stopper sweeps, you eliminate drafts and keep the heat inside your home. Each clear door bottom is 36” long and 1 ⅝” wide and has two sided tape for easy attachment. The door sweep seals out not only drafts, but also dust, pollen, and insects. These work great for sealing off unheated rooms within the home, including entrances to the basement or garage.

Refrigerator/Freezer Thermometer
When the temperature of your refrigerator and freezer are set too low the compressor will run more than it has to, running up your electric bill. If set too high your food may spoil quickly, causing you to lose money on wasted food. This thermometer will take the guesswork out of setting the temperature control, with a large dial that will give you an accurate reading at a glance. The thermometer is easy to hang or stand and will fit where it's most needed in any fridge or freezer.

Foam Outlet and Switch Seal Gaskets
With the foam outlet and switch seal gaskets you can easily reduce heat lost to drafts in every room of the home. These gaskets fit standard 2-plug outlet and single-switch covers.

Furnace & Air Conditioner Filter Whistle
An air filter whistle lets you know when it is time to change the filter in your furnace or central air conditioner. By changing your filter regularly, you can improve the efficiency and potentially extend the life of your heating or cooling system. This plastic whistle device simply snaps onto the filter. When the filter is clean air passes freely through the filter material. As dust and dirt accumulate, more air is forced through the air filter whistle, eventually producing a steady, audible whistle to alert you that the filter needs to be changed.

V-Seal Weatherstrip
V-Seal weatherstripping is an inexpensive way to help to create a tighter seal around windows and doors, which will help prevent heat or air conditioning from escaping. To install, simply clean the surface where it is to be installed, cut the weatherstripping to the desired length, peel off the adhesive backing, and press into place with fingertips. The 17’ roll is white and about 1” thick.

Thermal Leak Detector
This Black & Decker Thermal Leak Detector helps you increase the efficiency of your home's insulation by finding weak areas that can lead to higher heating and cooling bills. Using infrared sensors, the thermal leak detector can instantly identify problem areas around drafty windows and doors and uncover hidden leaks and insulation "soft spots" around your home. Check windows, ducts, and walls with the thermal reference light that indicates hot and cold spots. Sealing leaks and improving insulation in your home can help you save as much as 20 percent on your heating and cooling bills.

Shrink & Seal Window Kit
The Shrink & Seal Indoor Window Kit is installed over windows to eliminate cold air drafts and frost build-up. The crystal clear film is easy to install with a hair dryer and shrinks tight and free of wrinkles. The film creates dead air space to increase insulating R-Value up to 90%.

Caulk Gun
Gaps in your home’s exterior walls, windows, doors, roof, and floors cause air leaks which can waste large amounts of energy. A caulk gun works great to seal leaks in a variety of places throughout the home, particularly around windows and door frames. In addition to plugging air leaks, caulking can also prevent water damage when applied around faucets, ceiling fixtures, water pipes, drains, bathtubs, and other plumbing fixtures. The caulk gun included with this kit is designed for use with 10 oz. standard-size tubes and has a 60:25 thrust ratio which is great for use with low-viscosity materials.

Clear Silicone Caulk
Silicone is permanently waterproof and flexible and adheres to most surfaces. Typical heating and cooling of your home can cause some caulk products to dry out over time, leaving gaps and cracks for water to seep through, which can lead to water damage and mold growth. Unlike other caulking products, silicone will not shrink, crack, or crumble over time. This caulk can be used with the caulk gun included in this kit.
