Air Sealing:

Every home contains various gaps and voids through which conditioned air can escape, potentially compromising energy efficiency. These include openings left by electricians for running electrical wiring and spaces in the rim joists that are left exposed to the outside air. Even though these openings may seem minor, they can significantly affect your home's energy performance. The loss of conditioned air through these small breaches can lead to increased energy consumption as your heating and cooling systems work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. Consequently, addressing these gaps is essential for improving your home's overall energy efficiency and reducing utility costs.

Before installing blown-in attic insulation, we always recommend airsealing. Loosely filled cellulose insulation is not an air barrier. Air sealing will help combat unwanted air movement and increase the efficiency of your home and newly installed attic insulation.
