Air Sealing Services
We consider air sealing to be the “secret sauce” for a more energy-efficient home. Sealing off the cracks and gaps around your attic, windows, air ducts and crawl space is one of the most affordable, yet effective ways to prevent air leakages which cause energy loss and inflated utility bills.
Unless energy and air transfer is causing significant discomfort, many homeowners underestimate just how much their home can benefit from comprehensive air sealing. However, if you combine all of these cracks and gaps together, it would be like having a 2×2 ft. window in your home that was constantly open!
The Air Sealing Process
The process of air sealing itself is actually rather simple and straightforward. We seek out cracks and gaps around your home and use foam to fill and caulk to seal them. The expertise comes with knowing where to look for air leakages and being thorough in order to eliminate as many as possible.
Exhaust Fans and Vents
Any fans or vents that have access to the outdoors can be culprits for leaking air, but an insulation barrier can help reduce airflow and remedy the situation.
Recessed Lighting
These types of light fixtures are sometimes put in without proper insulation, especially if they weren’t installed by a professional. We recommend that you never attempt to air seal around any electrical fixtures due to the safety risks involved.
Air Ducts
Poorly sealed air ducts allow conditioned and heated air to escape to other spaces. These should always be air sealed to increase efficiency.
The Benefits of Air Sealing
Beyond just making your home more energy-efficient and helping you to save on utility bills, air sealing your home also provides the following benefits:
- Improved Air Quality
- Stable, Even Temperature
- Reduced Carbon Footprint
