How to stop an air draft around the light switch and receptacles?
The only tools needed to complete this project are a screwdriver and scissors. The foam insulated seals are made specifically for outlets and switch plates and they merely go behind your faceplate to insulate against drafts. Simply remove your existing faceplate, insert the foam seal, and then reattach your faceplate. It just take a couple of minutes and can make a big difference.
When you think about the number of outlets in your house and consider that each one can let in cold or hot air 24 hours a day, you’ll soon realize it adds up to a lot of lost energy. And it’s so simple.
