Preparing your home for the winter can seem like an arduous and never-ending task. Clearing your gutters, scheduling an HVAC tune-up, and cutting tree branches are just a few recommended duties. However, one recommendation that is sometimes overlooked is air sealing.
What Is Air Sealing?
Air sealing involves inspecting your home for air leakage points and sealing up each gap. Not only does this include the walls within your living space, but it also encompasses unwanted cracks and crevices in your foundation, attic, basement, crawl space, and windows.
What Are the Benefits?
Excess airflow is one of the main issues that air leakage creates. Even if you only have several small holes throughout your home, this can still cause persistent issues. First, the wasted energy can significantly increase your monthly electricity costs. That’s because your HVAC system will have to work longer and harder to satisfy the demands of your thermostat. These unwanted cracks can also invite allergens and moisture into your home and decrease indoor air quality. The good news is that air sealing can help solve these issues. Along with lowering your energy bills and improving air quality, air sealing provides a variety of other benefits:
- Reduces indoor drafts
- Improves energy efficiency
- Improves comfort
- Reduces heat loss
Professional Air Sealing Is Essential
By examining the benefits mentioned above, it’s clear to see that pre-winter air sealing is essential. Although this may seem like a task you can complete on your own, we suggest you rely on a professional’s help. Believe it or not, this highly technical task involves more than just walking around your home and searching for cracks. Specialized equipment and pressurization tests are often used to help locate air leakage points.
