My family and I live in an old house. By old house, I mean 80+ years old. We have made a ton of improvements over the years, but we still have a ways to go. (We still have some original windows left on the house. They are on our porch, so I'm in no hurry to fix them till now.) Old house, new house – it doesn't matter. You may have some drafts in your house. This is something Bill and I argue about, so I was excited to try out BlindSpotz.
Now, Bill and I argue about whether or not our front door has draft. I say no because the door has a tight fit. However, Bill sits over there and is always complaining about cold feet. (We also live in Chicago, and it's cold here!) Right off my front door is the porch with the old windows. Now, BlindSpotz is so easy to use. You open the package and grab a sensor.
You run the sensor until it is grey. You then place the sensors where you think you may have an issue. We did our front door and my daughters wall in her bedroom. You leave it up for 48 hours.
This is the test on our front door. You can clearly see that the color sensors have been activated and I was 100% wrong. We have a ton of cold coming through that door! My daughter's bedroom was slightly better!
Here's the super cool thing — if your BlindSpotz look like mine, take a picture of them and send to fixthecold@blindspotz.com and they will let you know some solutions to fixing your “cold” problem!
Since we love this product so much, I have arranged for 3 (aff) lucky winners to win a 3 (aff)-pack of BlindSpotz, so you can find the drafts in your house!

This sounds great! It’s important to know exactly where you’re losing energy, but a home energy test can be super expensive. This sounds like a much better alternative.
It totally is!
I need to do this. I know we have cold spots in the house and I’d like to fix them.
What a neat idea. We have a newer house and other than the wind blowing open the dog door, I haven’t noticed any drafts. But my daughter’s room is always cold.
I keep hearing so many great things about BlindSpotz! I really need to just get some with our huge windows – floor to ceiling! This is an older house and I need to stop the drafts!
I think these sound like such a great idea to help people learn more about the cold spots in there home and how they can help combat them! I definitely need to try it in some areas of my home.
My house is really old too, and there are a lot of cold spots. I really should look into this further, thanks for sharing!
This looks like such a great product! I definitely feel a draft when I sit next to a couple of our windows. I love that they will give you solutions.
I totally need to check out this product. I have some areas of the house that have bad drafts. I need to find a solution for them!
That is a very interesting product. We have a lot of draft issues in our house and it would be good to be able to pinpoint where we are losing most of our energy.
We live in a 1800s farmhouse so I totally get where you are coming from. My feet are always cold in the winter even though I know I have closed off all of the spots that are breezy lol. We heat with wood also, so I am always trying to keep things warm, but heat rises. These are a neat idea to find the cold spots.
That is cool. I definitely have cool spots in my house, mostly around the windows where it needs sealed better.
I think these BlindSpotz are such a great idea! My house is relatively new but I could see where knowing where the drafty spots are could help with your utilities! Great review!!
This looks like a great product. Home energy test can be super is so xpensive. This will be a better alternative.
These are really neat. I love being able to learn about where the drafts are in my home.
This is a fantastic idea We live in an older home with a lot of drafts. I will have to pick these up to try.
I saw these start popping up not long ago. I’ve been wanting to give them a try especially since we’ve had some pretty bitter cold nights and our bill is sky high.
These are quite handy and a lot easier than the tactics I’ve used through the years. I bet these are a lot more accurate than my tactics as well.
This product looks absolutely amazing! I think we could use them in a few areas in our home and try to get those areas fixed!
That sounds a great option for our home and it will be very helpful. You have an awesome giveaway!
That thing is neat! We need to get some of those to check if we have cold spots in the house because our house is also old.
Such a great idea for those that have winter weather. I need these for the heat! lol
I am a resident of good ‘ol Erie Pennsylvania and I survived this last record breaking winter. I think you ought to just donate them to me !!! LOL
