What is Air Sealing?

Many homes, especially older ones, have air leaks that allow heated and cooled air to escape when the air pressure differs between the inside and the outside of the home. Because these leaks allow unconditioned air to enter as conditioned air is lost, air leaks can be a significant waste of energy and money. Air leaks also make the house drafty. Many homes have hidden air leaks that require a certified professional to find the leaks and seal them. 35% of the heatloss from your house is from leakage so sealing these areas goes hand in hand with a good insulation job.
