FAQs

  • How can I determine if my house needs air sealing?

    Signs that your house may require air sealing include inconsistent room temperatures, high energy bills, and drafts around windows and doors. These are indications of air leakage, which means your HVAC system is working harder to maintain a comfortable temperature, leading to increased energy consumption.


    To confirm the need for air sealing, a professional energy audit can be conducted. This involves a series of tests, including a blower door test, which can accurately identify areas of air leakage. Based on these results, a tailored air sealing strategy can be developed to address the specific needs of your home.
