Is Air Sealing Your Home Worth It?

 

Along with adding or upgrading your insulation, air sealing is one of the most important things you can do to improve your home's comfort, health, and energy efficiency and is most often overlooked by homeowners and contractors.

 

The majority of homeowners do not realize the huge impact that air sealing can have on the comfort of their home while others INCORRECTLY believe that air sealing will make their house stuffy or unsafe.

 

Don't worry. We will answer the most common questions about air sealing.

What Exactly is Air Sealing?

 

Air sealing is the process of finding and sealing all the little holes, gaps, and seams in your attic floor and ceiling, around windows & doors, and any other air intrusion areas. A properly sealed home will allow less unconditioned air(cold) to meet conditioned air(hot) preventing condensation and improved conditions allowing warmer temperatures in the winter and cooler temperatures in the summer.

 

Air sealing can help with overall air quality in your home and make it an overall healthier place to live--in your home.

 

Air sealing has many benefits—but it’s also highly technical, specialized work, and it takes place in some hard-to-reach parts of your home. So you’ll get the best, most effective results when it’s performed by an experienced professional.

 

Air sealing and adding installation

 

While air sealing alone will give your home a healthier air flow and a more comfortable overall feeling, including air sealing with insulation makes it a very formidable upgrade that will cut your energy bills up to 20%. That's alot of money saved and the return on investment is higher than ANY other home improvement.

 

Yes...it's definately worth it

  2. COST vs BENEFITS-The cost to air seal your entire home is the best $500 or less you can spend towards a more comfortable home. And whenever you upgrade your attic insulation alongside it, you will notice a large difference in comfort and energy savings immediately.

  3. REDUCED CONDENSATION-An airtight seal can prevent moisture and condensation thus reducing the chance of getting mold, mildew, and bacteria to grow which results in better air quality inside your home.
