Air Sealing
Insulation cannot do its full job while conditioned air slips through the house around it. Small openings in the building envelope act like dozens of tiny open windows, wasting energy and making rooms harder to keep comfortable.
We track those hidden pathways at pipe and wire penetrations, duct connections, window frames, and other transitions, then close them with materials suited to each location. That stops unwanted airflow at the source instead of asking the HVAC system to compensate for it.
According to the Department of Energy, air leaks can account for 25–30% of a home's heating and cooling costs.
