The kits contain the following items to help reduce energy usage and protect the environment:

* Air Filter Whistle: Snap this product onto air filters to hear a whistle when the air filter is full. Cleaning your air filters regularly saves energy and money.
* Refrigerator/Freezer Thermometer: Use in the refrigerator or freezer. Comes with a magnet and has adhesive backing so it can be mounted virtually anywhere. Recommended temperature setting for refrigerators should be 37-40 degrees Fahrenheit. Freezers at 5 degrees Fahrenheit and stand-long freezers for long storage at 0 degrees Fahrenheit
* (12) Draft Stoppers: (4) switch gaskets, (8) outlet gaskets. This product replaces the empty space behind switches and outlets with insulation to prevent drafts.
