Air Sealing

Air sealing is one of the most important steps in improving your home's energy efficiency. Even the best insulation can underperform if air is leaking through gaps, cracks, and openings in your home's building envelope.

Professional air sealing targets the hidden gaps around pipes, wires, ducts, windows, and other penetrations that allow conditioned air to escape and outside air to enter your home.

According to the Department of Energy, air leaks can account for 25–30% of a home's heating and cooling costs.
