Simple Comfort Tips
Seal & Insulate for Cozy Homes
Insulation and air sealing work together to create a comfortable and energy-efficient home. Insulation acts like a thermal blanket, slowing down heat transfer, while air sealing functions as a windbreaker, preventing drafts. Without proper air sealing, even the best insulation can become less effective because air can bypass the insulation, creating energy-wasting "hot spots" and "cold spots."
Benefits of Sealing & Insulation
- Extended HVAC Lifespan: Reducing air leaks and heat transfer means your system runs less often, reducing wear and tear.
- Lower Utility Bills: Professional air sealing and insulation can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs.
- Enhanced Comfort: Eliminates cold spots, drafts, and uneven temperatures between rooms.
- Better Indoor Air Quality: Sealing gaps prevents dust, pollen, and outdoor pollutants from entering your home.
Sealing Hotspots
- The Attic: The biggest source of energy loss; sealing "top plates" and insulating over floor joists is critical.
- Ductwork: Leaky ducts can waste up to 20% of your HVAC's output. Use mastic sealant or foil tape—never traditional duct tape.
- Basements & Crawlspaces: Sealing rim joists and insulating foundations prevents cold air from rising into the living space.
- Penetrations: Gaps around plumbing, electrical wiring, and vent pipes are "hidden" leaks that should be filled with spray foam or caulk.
