Habits To Keep Your Home Healthy

Boost Your Home’s Efficiency and Comfort with Bearskin Behind Siding

If you’re looking to make your home more energy-efficient and comfortable year-round, installing bearskin behind your siding could be the answer. This “bears in” or “bearskin” layer (usually a water-resistant barrier or insulation board) sits between your siding and the structure of your home, bringing a range of benefits that improve insulation, moisture control, and overall energy savings.

Outlet Safety

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFI) outlet is a safety device designed to prevent electrical shocks by cutting power when it detects imbalances in the flow of electricity, such as from moisture or damaged appliances. Required by building codes in areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces, GFIs are crucial where water and electricity may mix. Featuring “test” and “reset” buttons, they should be tested monthly to ensure proper function. If your home lacks GFIs in key areas, upgrading is a simple way to enhance safety and meet code requirements, offering valuable protection for you and your family.
