Air Sealing
What is it?
Air sealing involves identifying and closing gaps, cracks, and openings in a home’s building envelope to prevent uncontrolled airflow. This process is essential for improving energy efficiency, enhancing indoor comfort, and maintaining a healthy indoor environment.
Benefits?
- 
                Improved Energy Efficiency:
                
- Reduced Heat Loss: Sealing gaps prevents warm air from escaping in the winter, reducing the need for heating and lowering energy bills.
 - Reduced Heat Gain: In the summer, air sealing keeps cool air inside, reducing the workload on air conditioning systems and saving on cooling costs.
 
 - 
                Enhanced Comfort:
                
- Eliminating Drafts: Air sealing eliminates drafts and cold spots, creating a more comfortable living environment.
 - Consistent Temperatures: Ensuring consistent indoor temperatures improves overall comfort throughout the home.
 
 - 
                Cost Savings:
                
- Lower Utility Bills: By reducing the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling, air sealing results in significant savings on utility bills.
 - Increased HVAC Efficiency: Reduced strain on heating and cooling systems can lower maintenance costs and extend the lifespan of HVAC equipment.
 
 - 
                Improved Indoor Air Quality:
                
- Contaminant Reduction: Sealing air leaks prevents outdoor pollutants, dust, and allergens from entering the home, improving indoor air quality.
 - Moisture Control: Proper air sealing helps control moisture levels, reducing the risk of mold growth and related health issues.
 
 - 
                Environmental Benefits:
                
- Energy Conservation: By reducing energy consumption, air sealing contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions and a smaller carbon footprint.
 - Sustainable Living: Improved energy efficiency supports sustainable living practices and reduces reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
 
 - 
                Enhanced Home Durability:
                
- Preventing Damage: Air sealing helps prevent moisture intrusion, which causes structural damage, rot, and mold growth.
 - Protecting Insulation: Keeps insulation dry and effective by preventing air and moisture infiltration enhances its performance and longevity.
