Pass weatherization bond to lower energy bills Letter Share No one would haul water in a leaky bucket, but hundreds of thousands of Mainers lose heated air through leaky houses. Air escapes through floors, walls and ceilings, doors and windows, plumbing holes, and fireplaces. Even in reasonably tight homes air leaks may account for 15% to 25% of the heat our furnaces generate in the winter or that our homes gain in the summer. Those leaks can add hundreds of dollars or more to a homeowner’s energy bills annually, and those added costs increase household financial burdens. It is not uncommon for the heating bill to account for a large portion of a household’s total energy expenditure, especially in older homes found across our state.
