How Does Air Sealing Work?

Air sealing works by preventing the flow of air between the interior and exterior of your home. Warm air finds ways to enter your home during the summer and escape during the winter, especially through the gaps and cracks in your attic and exterior walls. Air sealing closes gaps and crevices that allow air transfer, impacting your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. By sealing gaps and crevices, you keep the air you want inside your home. Home air sealing is a great way to increase your home’s energy efficiency and save you money.

The next highest areas include penetration points around ducts, fireplaces, plumbing, doors and windows.
