Detecting drafts

[nush]

Hi,

It's that time of the year where its cold and I want to reduce on gas bills. I'm sure there are some holes or drafts around the house but other than a lighter or a thermal imaging camera, is there a way to detect where the cold air is getting in, or vice versa?

Thanks

You can feel a draft.
Its not just where its getting in, its also where its getting out, for a draght you need a flow.
So by keeping doors closed has a great help to reduce drafts.
Chimneys cause drafts, do you have one, is in use.

Hi,

There are some places where I can't feel and even though I know there is a draft somewhere in the room, I'm looking to figure out exactly where it is.

Thanks

Do you have a chimney in the room

 

[nush]

Nope, no chimney in the room.

Thanks

Air gets in thru windows and doors and vents, you have bullets holes?
