Air Sealing

Air Sealing makes the insulation in your Atlanta area home work better!

When air moves through insulation, it reduces the R-Value by as much as 50%!  Sealing the holes in your attic and ducts is often the most cost effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort, and should be the first energy efficiency improvement made to any home.

Your home has a BIG hole in it!

Even the best-built homes are vulnerable to gaps, cracks, joints and seams where air can squeeze through. When combined, these tiny areas of air infiltration can cause as much energy loss as leaving a window open all year round.

Air Leaks

Many air leaks and drafts – like those around windows and doors – are easy to find. But holes hidden in attics, basements, and crawlspaces are much harder to locate and usually cause bigger problems.  Due to pressure differences caused by stack effect, the holes in the attic are usually the most important ones to seal.

Common Symptoms of Air Leaks

You may not realize how much energy your home or office is losing, but you see it in your energy bills and you feel the drafts in winter and the humidity in summer. Air infiltration leads to:

  • High energy bills – up to 30% higher heating and cooling costs
  • HVAC System runs all the time – It just can’t keep you comfortable
  • Drafts – especially around windows and doors
  • Uneven room temperatures – creates cold or hot rooms
  • Moisture – can cause excessive humidity or material damage and mold
  • Allergens, dust, pollutants – can make your home unsafe and smelly
  • Pests – insects such as cockroaches, spiders and ants

Benefits of Air Sealing

  • Improves comfort – Keep the conditioned air you paid for in your home as long as possible
  • Reduces energy bills – saves money on your heating and cooling energy costs
  • Works forever – you install air sealing once and it performs for the life of your home
  • Stops moisture – from developing in your crawlspace and humidity from entering your home
  • Improves Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) – by preventing pollutants, allergens and pests from entering your home

Where to Air Seal?

Sealing the sources of leaks and infiltration with caulk, spray foam, weather stripping will have a great impact on improving your comfort and reducing utility bills.

  • Plumbing and wiring penetrations through floors, walls and ceilings
  • Exterior and interior wall top plates
