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.


    Serving San Jose and surrounding areas in California, Greenshield Insulation is your go-to home renovation contractor for all insulation needs.

  • How long does the air sealing process typically take?

    The duration of the air sealing process largely depends on the size of your home and the extent of the air leaks. On average, a typical air sealing project can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days.


    The process involves an initial inspection to identify the areas of air leakage, followed by the implementation of sealing measures. These may include caulking, weatherstripping, or installing insulation. Once the sealing measures are completed, a final evaluation is conducted to ensure all leaks have been effectively sealed. The goal is to achieve a significant reduction in air leakage, enhancing the comfort and energy efficiency of your home.

  • What areas of my house are most likely to need air sealing?

    Common areas that are prone to air leakage include attics, basements, and areas where ducts, plumbing, and electrical wiring penetrate walls and floors. These spots often have gaps or holes that allow air to leak in or out, affecting the energy efficiency of your home.


    In addition, areas where different building materials meet, such as where the foundation meets the exterior walls or where the roof meets the walls, are also potential sources of air leakage. A comprehensive inspection by our professionals can help identify all these problem areas and suggest appropriate air sealing solutions.


  • Are there any rebates or financing options for air sealing services?

    Air sealing services at Greenshield Insulation are eligible for a rebate of $150. Air sealing is a crucial aspect of home energy efficiency as it prevents air leaks that could lead to increased heating and cooling costs. It also improves the durability, comfort, and air quality of your home.
