Seal Air Leaks Effectively

Homeowners can save up to 15% on spray foam insulation and cooling costs by reducing energy waste from air leakage. By sealing gaps, cracks, and holes, you can eliminate drafts and maintain a more stable indoor temperature. Air sealing is also a great way to increase the lifespan of your home’s insulation.

Most people focus on sealing around doors and windows, but there are many other places where air leaks can be found. This article explores how to spot these leaks and what products are most effective for stopping them.

An Easy and Affordable Way to Reduce Energy Bills

Air leakage is responsible for 30-50% of a typical home’s energy loss. This is because heated or cooled air escapes through these cracks and holes, while cold outside air sneaks in. The problem is that your heating and cooling system has to work harder to keep the temperature in your home at a comfortable level, which results in higher utility bills.

The best way to reduce air leakage is by performing a home energy audit and making air sealing and insulation upgrades. An experienced professional can use specialized tools like thermal imaging and blower door testing to identify areas where leakage is most prevalent. Once the problems are identified, they can be fixed using caulking and weatherstripping.

Air sealing keeps outdoor pollutants out, such as dust, dirt, exhaust fumes and pollen, which improves indoor air quality and helps prevent moisture damage to walls, floors, and soffits over cabinets. It can also help minimize pest problems and prolong the life of your home’s insulation.
