i have a 74,000 BTU insert, and it keeps up well enough with the sub zero temperatures.... however that leaves my home(3000 SQ ft) in the mid to low 60's.
my windows are fairly good, as i do not feel much drafting around them, however a few will have their gasket/seals changed this coming spring/summer.
i have looked at my doors and they all seal well.
i am wondering what else i can do to eliminate heat loss?
my attic access ports have insulation on the wood slat that is pushed up to gain access, i have storm windows on the side windows for my front door and a storm door as well.
i am wondering if it is overkill to plug unused exhaust vents, like bathroom ones that suck out smells and moisture?
i am all ears to any other ideas.
thanks
