Air Sealing Your Home For Efficiency: Your Ultimate Guide

One of the new buzzwords people use when talking about energy-efficient homes is air sealing. As we learn in BPI energy auditor training, this is the first thing we tackle for energy efficiency. The return on investment vs. anything else is really hard to beat.

Apparently, it’s essential if you want your home to be energy-efficient. But what is it?

Air sealing is finding and systematically sealing all the places throughout your home that leak air. A blower door audit can help you find the air leaks in your home, which can be fixed with a caulk gun, spray foam, and other common tools, saving you around 15% on your HVAC bills.

All homes leak. Like water coming through a hole in your roof, air leaks through gaps and holes throughout the structure of your house and all its components. But unlike the roof leak, you’re often unaware of air leakage.

Maybe you can feel a draft in a room; this could be due to air leakage. Perhaps one room stays colder (in winter) or warmer (in summer) than others. Air leakage could cause or contribute to this.

But you’ll feel the main effect of air leakage in your wallet: Your typical home will lose 25%-40% of the energy you use for heating and cooling through air leakage

Another US government source says you can save 15% on your heating and cooling bill by air-sealing and insulating.

An example used sometimes is comparing air gaps in a home to a leaky ship. You can bail out all the water constantly, but it’ll never stay afloat if it keeps filling up through all the holes.

This is just like your HVAC and other home systems trying to work together while air is leaking through the building envelope all the time.

We also built a pretty slick home air sealing calculator that uses your own utility bill (and other factors) to show a wealth of data on the benefits of air sealing. You can find that here.

Read on to find out how you can stop your house — and your wallet — from leaking.

What Is Air Sealing?

Air sealing is the process of identifying and fixing gaps in the envelope of a building that allow air to pass through.

Many places around a building can develop cracks and gaps that allow conditioned air to escape from within the building and unconditioned air to enter. This makes your HVAC system work overtime and can result in unnecessarily high bills.

Some parts of a building where gaps might exist include the area around window frames and doors, chimneys, ducts, and penetrations through walls and roofs, such as pipes and electric cables.

You can use caulk to seal gaps and cracks that don’t move and weatherstripping for items that move, such as windows and doors.

A popular choice for filling larger gaps is expanding spray foam, which expands to 30-60 times its volume in liquid form, allowing it to get into cracks and seal them up securely.

Air sealing can be checked using a blower door test and a smoke pencil, which helps to track down those places that require sealing. You can also use an infrared camera to spot where unconditioned air leaks into the house or where conditioned air is escaping.

Armed with this information and a caulk gun, you can seal everything up and make your home airtight.

Now we’ve got the general idea of air sealing, let’s look in more detail at the causes of air leakage.

What is Air Leakage?

Air leakage is complicated, and the more you understand it, the better you’ll be able to deal with it.

Your house’s building envelope is like your skin. It completely encloses what is inside. You can think of it as the outside covering of your home. In newer homes, the actual envelope is between the exterior cladding and the inside walls.

Your skin has openings for your mouth, ears, etc., that serve specific purposes for what’s inside. Similarly, your house has special-purpose openings.

Doors allow you, your family, and your friends to go in and out of the house and bring in whatever you need. Windows let in light and fresh air when opened (your teenagers can also crawl out of them to escape)!

These are the main ones, and they are individually the largest. You’ll keep them closed unless you are using them.

You have other openings. Your clothes dryer exhausts through a pipe to the outside. Your kitchen and bathroom fans vent through the walls or roof. Your furnace and water heater expel their combustion products through flue pipes to the outside. Your fireplace is a big hole from your living room through your roof.

Those are functional openings. Generally, the pipes from your exhaust fans and your clothes dryer have dampers that are supposed to close when air is not flowing through them so they don’t allow outside air to come into your home.

But there are usually gaps around the openings in the walls or ceilings where they pass. The pipes don’t fit completely flush with the walls.

The list goes on, you’ll also find gaps in the wall around plumbing pipes, electrical receptacles, lights, electrical outlets, and air conditioning system components.

The various places where you can expect to find air leakage are listed below.

Air leakage in your home is simply the air movement in or out of all those places, whether you can see them or not.

What Causes Air Leakage?

Several natural effects can cause air leakage. One or more of these may be happening at any given time. Mainly, air flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure, and warm air rises.

Wind Pressure

When the wind blows against your home, it can force air through different openings. The stronger the wind, the more it pushes air in through the gaps. You get whatever is in the outside air, which could be warmer or cooler than the inside air.

This wind forces air out through your leaks on the other side of your home, and you lose heated or cooled air.

Stack Effects

The stack effect is a significant driver of air movement due to temperature differences. Warmer air is not as dense as cooler air, so it rises; that’s why a hot-air balloon can fly.

You heat up the air inside the balloon, which becomes lighter than the surrounding air, so the balloon rises. The same thing happens to warm air without the balloon.

Interior Stack Effects

In your home, air might be warmed by cooking, your body, lights, your computer, TV, or other equipment, etc.

The warm air rises to the ceilings, passing upward through leakage areas and out through higher leakage spots. That draws cooler air in through the leaks in the lower portion of your home and whatever else is in the air.

Some homes have a chase, a shaft extending from the basement through the structure to the attic with pipes running through it. When you have a shaft or tube, air flows naturally out at the top and in at the bottom.

A chase allows a lot of air movement all the time since it allow warm air to rise up through it and escape at the top.

Exterior Stack Effects

In winter, the cooler air around the lower portion of your home seeps in through the various leaks. Then, it starts to warm and rise up and out through the upper leakage areas.

Venturi Effect

Your home might have some exterior features that could cause the wind to blow through a confined area, causing a drop in pressure.

This could suck some air out of your house if there’s a leak area near that point, creating a negative pressure that would suck air in through some other location.

Benefits of Air Sealing

There are many reasons you would want to air-seal your home. This section details the benefits.

Lower Energy Bills

Because energy loss from air leakage accounts for 25% to 40% of your energy bills, you’ll get an immediate financial payback from air sealing through reduced bills that will start to pay back the costs of air sealing.

Leakage also robs other energy efficiency measures like increased insulation and better windows of their benefits.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

When air leaks into your house, it brings with it whatever is in the outside air — dust, pollen, air pollution, odors, radon, and unwanted humidity.

The outdoor air could be hotter or colder than inside, making you less comfortable. The openings that allow the leakage can also be pathways for insects to enter and cause problems.

Improved Comfort

You will be more comfortable with reduced air leakage when you get rid of those unwanted drafts, and the temperatures in different rooms will remain consistent. Less outside noise will find its way inside.

Less humid air will seep inside in warm, moist climates. In cold climates, indoor air won’t be so dry that you have sinus problems and unwanted static electricity.

Reduced Condensation Problems

Water is a building’s worst enemy and can find its way into your house with air leaks. Once moisture gets inside, it can condense and cause mold and mildew problems.

In hot, humid climates, moist air enters the home and condenses when it encounters the cooler parts of the structure, where it can cause wood to rot and provide drinking water for termites. Mold can also form inside your walls.

In cold climates, moist air can enter the walls from the inside and condense to cause mold and damage.

Eliminating air leakage from your home can help to prevent these problems.

Reduced Possibility Of Ice Dam Formation

In colder climates, warm air loss through the attic melts snow on your roof. The liquid can freeze near the roof edges, creating barriers to the runoff and a buildup of snow, which can ultimately cause damage and roof leakage.

When Should You Do Air Sealing

The best time is when you are building your house from scratch. That way, each potential leak can be sealed up at construction time.

In fact, the building codes in some places now allow houses only a certain amount of leakage; above that maximum, the building inspectors make the builder reduce the leakage.

Once the drywall is applied to cover the building structure, leaks are much harder and costlier to find and seal.

OK, you say, I bought this house that was already built. What can I do?

The second best time is when you are remodeling. The more extensive the remodel, the more opportunities you have to expose areas of the structure where leaks typically occur and seal them before they are covered up.

But even if you’re not planning a remodel, there are obvious places that probably leak that you can seal. We’ll tell you where they are and what to do about them if you keep reading.

First, you have to locate the leaks so you can seal them.

Blower Door Test Audit

The most accurate way to locate the many air leaks in your house is through a blower door audit. This test quantifies the amount and identifies the locations of air leakage in your home.

To do this, you need costly equipment and technical knowledge, so your best bet is to hire a professional. This will generally cost you around $450 for an average-sized house. But check with your utility company, most offer free energy audits, and some include a blower door test.

The professional will close all the exterior doors and windows and block all the obvious openings between the inside and outside, like the exhaust fans in your bathrooms and kitchen, the clothes dryer vent, the fireplace, and any other openings you might have.

Then she will set up a powerful variable-speed fan in a frame that blocks off and seals an entire exterior doorway. She’ll attach a device to measure the airflow and the pressure difference between the inside and outside of your house.

She will crank the fan up to create a standard pressure difference (50 pascals) and record how much air the fan is pushing out of the house through all the leaks at that pressure.

It’s like measuring the leakage from a bucket that leaks in many places. If you know the rate at which you have to add water to keep the bucket full, you know how much it’s leaking in total from all the places.

The measuring device will give a reading in terms of air changes per hour (ACH50—the standard reference) that shows how many times in an hour the amount of air from your leaks equals the volume of air in your house.

At that point, you can see the leakage with a smoke pencil—put it next to different places and watch the smoke blow into the house.

Even better, she will use a high-resolution infrared (IR) camera to spot the leaks. Her IR camera documents temperature differentials with the fan reversed, sucking air into the house at a lower pressure.

Hopefully, the air outside is significantly hotter or colder than inside the house. So wherever cold (or hot) air is leaking, and the fan is sucking it into your home, the IR camera will show a temperature differential at the leak.

The IR pictures will also give an idea of the magnitude of the leak.

You’ll get a full report, and you can start sealing the leaks.

If you have hired a contractor to do all the air sealing, you should have him do another blower door test when he is finished to see how much he has reduced the leakage.

Can I Do a Blower Door Test Myself?

You can do a non-professional blower door test yourself to find some of your leaks. If you can’t find a smoke pencil, you’ll need something to generate smoke, maybe a cigarette.

You should close the exterior doors, windows, and other openings like the fireplace. Open all the interior doors.

You will also have to turn off the pilot lights if you have them in your water heater and furnace to prevent back-drafting that can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Then turn on all the exhaust fans in the house, including your clothes dryer. If you have a fan that sets in a window and you can close off the area around the fan, you’ll get good results.

Once the fans are running, use your smoke pencil at different places around the house where there is the potential for air leakage. Keep reading to see a list of these places.

Other Air Leakage Measurement Methods

A very unusual method of measuring air leakage is the PFT (perfluorocarbon tracer) air infiltration measurement technique, which Brookhaven National Laboratory developed. This test can give detailed information on air infiltration patterns around the house.

You have to get the testing equipment from Brookhaven National Laboratory and send it back to them for analysis. This method is rarely used, so we’ll just mention it in passing.

Home Sealing – Where To Prioritize Air Sealing Your Home For Efficiency

There are obvious places in a house where you can expect leakage, especially in older buildings. Some of them are pretty easy to seal with products that at least reduce the air leakage, if not eliminate it.

Other places are difficult to access. And, of course, some are covered with structure or drywall, so you can only get to them during a remodel.

Interior

Let’s start the list with the places you access from the interior, which are easier. See the section below for information on what products to use for those that require caulking or foam.

Windows

Older windows leak a lot, especially as they age. Although they may not leak water from the outside, they will leak air to and from the outside in many cases.

They let in the air around the edges of the sashes (panes of glass) and between sashes if there’s more than one in a window, and they leak around the frames.

There are a couple of things you can do to older windows. The best thing you can do is caulk the junctions between the window frame and the interior wall and exterior cladding.

You can replace the weatherstripping to improve the seal if the weatherstripping is worn. Or you can replace the entire window.

Newer windows are much better at preventing leakage through the windows themselves. If you chose to replace your old windows, you would get much more energy-efficient ones.

Replacing Windows

You can choose one of two ways to replace your windows. The easier, less expensive way is to put a new window into the old frame. The new window frame has to be well-sealed to the old frame, and you still have to seal it around the edges of the old frame.

You could replace the entire window assembly, which would involve removing the old window.

You open up the exterior wall, weave the flashing paper that comes with the window into the building’s existing flashing, restore the exterior cladding around the window, and seal the window frame into the interior wall.

This procedure usually gives the most leak reduction and looks better, too.

Doors

Doors usually have gaps between the edges of the door, frame, and floor. There are also gaps between the door frame itself at the interior walls and the exterior cladding; the trim hides a gap.

Doors should be weather-stripped around their tops and sides. But weather seals can wear out or become loose.

If your doors already have weatherstripping around their sides and top, check to ensure the seals are tight. You may want to replace the weatherstrips if they don’t look like they are tight.

The bottoms of your entry/exit doors should be sealed with a “sweep,” which is a flexible strip that sweeps along the floor and covers the gap under the door when it is closed.

Make sure your door has a flexible sweep to seal securely against the floor when you close the door.

You should also seal around the interior and exterior edges of the door frame itself.

Baseboards

The baseboards all around the edges of your floors hide gaps between the floor and the walls, which leak. You can caulk around the tops and bottoms of the baseboards, although this may look sloppy.

The best way to seal your baseboards is to remove them and directly caulk the gap between the floor and the wall. However, this can be delicate work. It’s not easy to remove and reinstall baseboards. Here’s an article that tells you how.

Electrical Outlets

You can reduce air leakage through electrical switches and receptacles by installing a gasket under the cover plate.

You can also replace receptacles with child-safe ones that cover the holes for the plug; you have to rotate the cover to allow the holes to align with holes for the plug.

Don’t forget the boxes with cable and telephone connections; these can also be gasketed.

Recessed Light Fixtures

Older recessed lights are a problem to air seal because the light cans have openings to ventilate the heat from their incandescent bulbs. The ventilation prevents fires; please do not block these holes.

You can eliminate the leakage by replacing the light fixtures with ICAT-rated fixtures (insulation contact, air-tight). But this is expensive.

Alternatively, you can get thin LED lights with a bulb base that screws into your old can light. Push the can light up out of the way and install the LED fixture below it, caulked to the ceiling.

If you have access to the attic, you can put a hood over the recessed light and caulk it to the attic floor. It’s best to switch to LED or CFL bulbs so you aren’t generating as much heat.

The easiest and least effective option is simply to put a gasket under the trim.

Plumbing Pipes

Pipes come through the walls in bathrooms and kitchens to supply water to taps and drain it away.

Often, you’ll find a metal or plastic escutcheon plate around the pipes to cover the gap between the pipe and the wall. Remove the escutcheon plates and seal the gaps, using caulk or foam for wider openings.

Don’t forget the gas pipes for the stove/oven and cooktop. These are not always easily accessible but are worth sealing.

Should You Caulk Around Air Vents and HVAC Registers?

Those grilles that provide the heating and air conditioning airflow are set into holes in the ceiling and walls, so a gap exists around them.

These gaps are easy to caulk once you loosen the screws securing the register to the wall or ceiling. If you can access them from the attic, you may be able to seal them more easily.

Bathroom Vent Fans

Your bathroom exhaust fans have a trim plate that you can pull down from the ceiling to caulk the gap underneath.

Mail Slot

If your house is old enough to have a mail slot in the door, you might want to consider sealing it up and getting a mailbox.

If it is the open type, you can replace it with one that does a better job of sealing. Or, you can construct a mailbox that fits over the slot on the interior and has a well-sealed access door.

Masonry Fireplaces

Most older masonry fireplace dampers don’t seal well. You can have a professional install a newer type of damper for the fireplace that sits on top of the chimney and does a better job of sealing.

Or, you can fill a plastic garbage bag with enough scraps of fiberglass insulation (or equivalent) to block the opening in the chimney’s throat.

You should attach a string to the bag with a note on the end that hangs down into the fireplace to remind you to remove the bag before starting a fire.

Fireplace Surround at Masonry Chimney

You can caulk the gap between the brick chimney and the wall and between the hearth extension and the floor. Use a temperature-resistant caulk for this to be on the safe side.

If there is a gap between the fireplace firebox and its surround, you should call a fireplace expert to seal the gap.

Gas Fireplaces

Decorative gas fireplaces don’t have dampers; they are just open holes through the roof. There’s not much you can do about that open flue.

Metal fireplaces that can burn either wood or gas have dampers that do a decent job of closing the flue, but they should be partially disabled for safety reasons.

If the fireplace is burning only gas and the damper is closed, odorless and colorless products of combustion will spill into the living area and cause health problems.

Of course, if you’re burning wood, you’ll know immediately that the damper is closed as smoke fills the room.

You should seal around the outer edges of the firebox where it sets in the wall and around the flue pipes where they pass through the attic with a temperature-resistant caulk or a temperature-resistant spray foam.

Wood-Burning Stoves

Your wood-burning stove may have a damper if it’s an older model, but the damper is usually only partially closed.

The flue pipe is another big hole right through your home if the damper is not closed tight.

You can seal the gap between its flue pipe and the wall with a fire-resistant caulk or a temperature-resistant spray foam.

Laundry Area

You’ll find gaps you can seal associated with your clothes washer and dryer.

In newer homes, the washer discharges into a drain that is set into the wall. The entire recess containing this drain may have cracks and gaps that can leak. In older homes, you might have a pipe in the wall that you can seal around.

The clothes dryer discharges through a 4-inch pipe that may go through the wall, floor, or ceiling directly, or it could lead into a metal box set into the floor or wall.

You should caulk the gaps around the pipe or box, so there are no openings with a fire-resistant caulk, or use temperature-resistant spray foam.

Wall and Window Air Conditioners

If you have an air conditioner in an opening in your wall or mounted in a window, it probably leaks around the edges. Seal the openings with caulk or spray foam.

Interior Walls and Ceilings

Although you may not want to caulk leaky corners for aesthetic reasons, you can put a fresh coat of paint on your interior surfaces to help seal them.

Attic

The attic in an older house can contribute as much as 50% of the air leakage in the whole house. So that is one of the areas to focus on to reduce your air leakage.

However, the attic floor is usually covered with insulation, which hides most or all of the places you need to seal. Some of the places are pretty hard to access. And if you’re not careful, you can fall through the ceiling.

As if that all weren’t enough, some attics are so cramped it’s hard to get around, and you may find all kinds of essential components that you can’t move blocking your way in many attics.

For these reasons, many folks prefer to call a professional to air-seal the attic.

But if your attic insulation is old and settled, you might want to remove it and attempt the job yourself. After you finish air-sealing, you can install new fiberglass batt insulation yourself or have blown-in cellulose installed.

Attic Floor

The attic floor often has many cracks and some open gaps. You should seal the cracks with caulk; use foam for the larger openings.

You should cover the openings with a stiff material like drywall scraps and glue them to the surrounding floor with caulk. Make sure that you seal the entire perimeter of the cover.

Attic Wall With Attached Garage

If you have an attached garage, you may have a wall between the house attic and the garage. If you do, there are gaps and openings in this that you should seal.

Attic Penetrations (Piping, Wiring, Ducts)

You’ll find pipes and electrical boxes sticking through the attic floor, and you should seal the gaps around them with caulk or foam.

If any electrical boxes are open, do not seal inside them—make sure they are correctly covered and seal only around their outsides.

You can caulk around ducts that penetrate the attic floor, too.

Flue Pipes and Chases

Flue pipes (which get hot) and some regular pipes often enter the attic in chases, which are channels that start (usually) in the basement.

It is best to cut sheet metal to fit around any older, single-wall flue pipes; click here for more information. You may have to cut a piece of drywall to help cover a large shaft.

Newer flue pipes have double walls, so they don’t get as hot; you can use a high-temperature foam to seal them. If the opening is too big, use pieces of drywall to cover part of the opening.

Chimney at Attic Penetration

Building codes mostly require a one or two-inch clearance from wood. You can cover the gap with sheet metal; click here for how-to instructions. Because the chimney can get quite hot with a wood fire, you should not use foam.

Soffit/Dropped Ceiling

Soffits are features where the ceiling is lower in a portion of a room or along a wall. Sometimes they hide ducts or wiring; sometimes, they are just design features.

They open into the attic, so if they are accessible from the attic, you should cover them with a sheet of drywall and caulk it around their edges to seal them to the attic floor.

Attic Kneewalls

Kneewalls are vertical surfaces inside the attic that create extra living space below; they are covered with drywall. These can be significant air leakage points. You should caulk all edges of the kneewall; click here for more information.

Attic Access

There are many different attic access configurations, so you may have to use your imagination to air-seal yours.

Often, you can install a gasket. If you have a piece of drywall that sits on top of the opening, put a foam gasket around the edge of the drywall so it can fit securely.

If you have a drop-down stairway, you may have to build a cover of some sort that can seal to the stairs or the attic with a gasket. Here’s an article with more information.

Whole-House Fan

Whole-house fans are the biggest leak in your house if you have one. You can correct it by building a box that fits on top of the fan in the attic, with a lightweight hinged top that opens up when the fan turns on.

Here’s a video that shows you how.

HVAC Ducting

Your ducting leaks. Older ducting leaks a lot. If the ducting is inside your walls, there’s not much you can do about it unless you have a company spray an aerosol into the ducting system that seals the leaks from the inside. This may be expensive.

If you have sheet metal ducting in your attic or basement with a thin or cardboard-like white material covering it, you probably have asbestos-containing insulation, and you should leave it alone.

If you have older ducts made out of fiberglass—these are stiff, straight, and usually tan, from the ‘70s—you may be able to tape the joints but avoid disturbing the ducts, so you don’t release fiberglass particles into your system. Consider replacing them.

If your ducts are the common flexible type with fiberglass insulation under a plastic cover, used since the 70s, these may be damaged or loose at joints.

You can tape them. Don’t use “duct tape;” it is not for actual ducts. Use foil-backed tape that has a lot of adhesive.

Here’s a great video from Crawl Space Ninja that shows you how to air-seal your ductwork:

HVAC Plenum

The furnace has sheet metal components that attach the body of the furnace to the ductwork, called the plenum.

Usually, this is not well-sealed to the furnace, but that’s easy to correct. Here’s a video that shows how to air seal around the plenum on your furnace.

Exterior/Crawl Space

Sill Plates (Slab Foundation)

If your house has a slab foundation, you can’t get to the sill plate to air-seal it since it is below the exterior cladding. The best you can do is carefully air-seal the baseboards on exterior walls from the inside.

However, if the interior of an attached garage is unfinished, you can seal the sill plate at the base of the wall with the house to the concrete foundation with caulk.

Rim Joist (Raised Foundation) and Floor

If you have a crawl space under your house, you can seal around the rim joist, which is the structural member that supports the rim of the floor. Seal all around it, and fill any gaps or holes for pipes or wires.

If you have a leaky floor, caulk the gaps between the floorboards.

The best way to air-seal the floor and rim joists is to have a specialized contractor spray-foam the entire area with open-cell foam.

Other

Various other places within the structure should be air-sealed but are probably inaccessible.

If a porch roof is attached to the building structure, it may leak air into the house.

An interior stairway on an exterior wall may have leakage points that caulking the baseboards cannot seal. Cantilevered floors are inaccessible from below. Etc.

What Sealant/Caulk Should I Use?

The best latex caulk is Dap Alex Painter’s Acrylic Latex Caulk. Latex caulk is general-purpose and adheres well to drywall, wood, and masonry.

It dries in two hours and can function for up to 15 years. You’ll need a caulking gun to squeeze out the caulk. You can also use silicone or polyurethane caulk.

The best expandable foam is DAPtex Plus Foam. This polyurethane foam is one of the best and most affordable expandable spray foams. Use it to fill gaps wider than ¼” or so.

The best butyl rubber caulk is Flex Shot Rubber Adhesive Sealant Caulk. This is good for sealing metals, plastics, concrete, mortar, and rubber substrates and is suitable for outdoor use.

To seal around any hot component, use a temperature-resistant caulk or a high-temperature foam.

Pressurized Caulk

Pressurized caulk is a great, user-friendly alternative to standard caulk that must be applied using a caulk gun.

Pressurized caulk comes in a pressurized can, like those used for spray foam and even deodorant.

Using a standard caulk gun with a trigger that pushes a piston against the bottom of a normal caulk tube is a skill that doesn’t come naturally to many of us.

However, using pressurized caulk is much easier and allows even a novice to apply a neat bead of caulk to any gap, without any overflow from the tube, which is a problem I always have.

Take a look at this video for a demonstration of how to use a pressurized caulk tube (no separate gun required).

Don’t Forget to Provide Ventilation

When you tighten up your home by eliminating air leaks, you are removing sources of natural ventilation.

If you tighten too much, you should add a source of ventilation to avoid various potential problems.

Home Sealing Summary

There’s a lot to air-sealing your house. Knowing the theory and specifics of air leakage is helpful because different houses have different construction features.

We have tried to cover the main issues for most older homes here, but you may need to do some additional research or talk to a pro about specific features of your home.

The benefits of air sealing are numerous. You’ll have a healthier, more comfortable environment that costs you less to maintain.

You’ll find it’s worth the work!
