AIR SEALING FAQS

  • Attic air sealing prevents outside air from entering your home and ensures that your conditioned/heated air stays within the interior walls, so you don’t have to waste energy cooling or warming your home.

  • All accessible attic bypasses (light fixtures, top plates, bath fans, plumbing stacks, chimneys. Anything that penetrated the ceiling.

    •  Costly energy bills

    •  Noticeable drafts 

    •  Certain rooms are too hot or too cold.

    •  Damaged or missing insulation

    •  Mold or mildew in the attic 

    •  Dry indoor air

  • We conduct a blower door test.

  • A blower door is a powerful fan that a trained energy professional temporarily mounts into the frame of an exterior doorway in your home. After calibrating the device, the fan pulls air out of the house, lowering the air pressure inside. The higher outside air pressure then flows in through all unsealed gaps, cracks and openings such as gaps, cracks, or wiring penetrations.

Overall, air sealing is a cost-effective way to improve the comfort, energy efficiency, and durability of your home while also promoting better indoor air quality.
