In this episode of Weatherize This House, Finch explains why rising energy bills often trace back to unsealed air leaks and hidden moisture rather than outdated heating or cooling systems. Learn the smart sequence for tackling drafts around windows, doors, and outlets on a breezy day, using caulk for small gaps and expanding foam for larger ones. Discover how to spot damp spots in basements before adding insulation, why basement rim joists deserve early attention, and when a blower door test makes sense over more DIY efforts. Practical steps like installing outlet gaskets and maintaining fresh air flow protect your home while cutting costs.

Key takeaways:
- Prioritize sealing obvious air leaks before insulation for maximum efficiency.
- Check lower levels for moisture to prevent mold once sealing begins.
- Address rim joists with rigid foam and tape to reduce heat loss quickly.
- Use a notebook to track progress and know when professional testing is needed.
- Maintain ventilation and test CO detectors after tightening the home envelope.
