• Air sealing the exterior of your home (outer walls, ceiling, windows, doors, and floors) is the most cost-effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort
• According to the Department of Energy, having your home air sealed by a qualified contractor can save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs

It has long been known that many otherwise well insulated buildings were poorly sealed or had become poorly sealed as they were modified and as they aged. The lack of a proper seal was a leading cause of air leakage in and out of buildings.

Many air leaks and drafts are easy to find because you can feel air moving through them, especially around windows and doors. There are many other holes in a home’s exterior that can’t easily be seen be homeowners. Air leaks in attics, basements, and crawlspaces are typically bigger problems and allow greater amounts of energy to escape.
Approximately 60% of all air leaks are in a home’s attic. Add to that the heat loss from an uninsulated basement (as much as 25%) and heat loss from exterior walls (around 15%). This air leakage results in wasted energy, moisture problems in most homes, and wasted money.

Air sealing the exterior of your home (outer walls, ceiling, windows, doors, and floors) is the most cost-effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort. Having your home air sealed by a qualified contractor can result in significant savings on heating and cooling costs.
