- Will these fit my outlets and switches?
- The seals are pre-cut for toggle switches, duplex outlets, rocker switches and combo plates. Check your plate type and gang count before ordering, since the set is split into single, double and triple sizes.
- Do they actually lower heating bills?
- They stop air moving through the gaps around electrical boxes, which reduces drafts and convective heat loss. Savings depend on how leaky your walls are; treat them as one small part of weatherizing, not a whole fix.
- How do I install them?
- Turn off power at the breaker, remove the cover plate, place the gasket over the opening and refit the plate. Tighten screws gently so the foam compresses without tearing.
- Can I use them on exterior walls only?
- They work on any drafty box, but they matter most on exterior walls, above basements and near floorboards where cold air enters. Interior partition walls rarely need them.
- What is in the box?
- Twenty single-gang seals, ten double-gang seals and ten triple-gang seals, all in white EVA foam.
- Are they reusable?
- Yes, if the foam stays intact. They lift off with the plate and can be moved to another outlet, unlike spray foam or caulk.
