Why Air Sealing Matters
It's simple. You can't control or regulate a leaky home. Leaky homes are inefficient, unfomfortable & unhealthy. Air sealing is vital to an efficient, durable, healthy home. It is one of the most important enefgy-efficiency measures. Air leakage, or infiltration, occurs when outside air enters a house uncontrollably trough cracks, gaps and openings. Homes with higher air leakage are significantly less energy-efficient than well-sealed homes. They also require larger HVAC systems to keep the home comfortable. These larger systems must run most frequently to keep up with the temperature changes as the outside air leaks into the house.

The air tightness issue goes beyond how well a building’s HVAC system performs.
Uncontrolled air leakage can also provide a vehicle for unwanted moisture to enter a building, which can become the reason for a building to fail, leading to costly building repairs. Because moisture is transferred predominantly by air currents - accounting for up to 98% of all water vapor movement in buildings - air sealing your home is essential. Leaky houses also allow dust, allergens, pollutants and other airborne particulates to enter the home, leading to poor indoor air quality. Reducing the amount of air that leaks in and out of your home is a cost-effective way to cut heating and cooling costs, improve durability, increase overall comfort, and create a healthier indoor environment.
Why does that matter? Because air leakage....
01
Is typically the largest driver of energy use in the home, comprising 30% - 70% of energy wasted on heating and cooling.
02
It is usually the biggest contributing factor for drafts, hot/cold spots, and other comfort issues in a home.
03
Often the largest contributor to moisture problems, especially mold and mildew.
