With the rise in gas prices and other energy resources, homeowners are often looking for ways on how to lower their gas and electric bills. During the cold winter nights, it is quite common to turn up the heat, but when your home is filled with weak window seals and drafty doors, you wind up paying more in the long run. The same is true for the summer season, as air-conditioning helps ease the discomfort of a humid afternoon, but is less effective when precious energy and resources are wasted when they escape through cracks in window seals.

Today, air leaks in the home are one of the largest sources of heating and cooling loss, which causes higher energy bills. These leaks take place when small cracks develop about windows, doors, and pipes. While many choose to caulk and weatherstrip their home, there is a much economical way to approach this common household problem.

The Draft Stopper

In order to increase the efficiency of windows and doors, the Draft Stopper was designed with saving money and energy in mind. A door or window stopper helps put an end to unnecessary heating costs during cold nights and wasted air conditioning during a hot summer day. It is the tough construction of the Draft Stopper that accommodates a wide range of locations about the home.

Simply push the stopper close to window seals and doors, which immediately translates into a more comfortable, year-round environment.

Windows and room doors are not the only parts of the house that benefit from the use of a Draft Stopper. A stopper easily fits along a garage door, which effectively prevents cold drafts. The material used to make the Draft Stopper is quite durable and strong, as the tubular nylon exterior is filled with polypropylene, which ensures flexibility.

Overall, the Draft Stopper is quite difficult to wear out and is so strong – cars may roll over the stopper on a daily basis. On rainy days or high levels of window precipitation, the Draft Stopper is able to get wet and easily air-dry. Homeowners may also use the stopper to seal off basement and attic doors, as well as close off unoccupied rooms to further save money.

When you are ready to begin the money-saving advantages associated with the Draft Stopper, you will find that the more you purchase at one time – the more you save. When purchasing two stoppers, you may pay about $12.99. An order of four stoppers will cost around $19.99, while the more zealous homeowner may want to place a larger order for 10 stoppers at the price of $29.99.
