It is very common for homes and buildings to have hidden areas that leak air in and out. If a property isn’t effectively sealed, it has the potential to let an abundance of air escape as if a window were left wide open all day long. This escaping air and leakage can have various negative impacts on residents, guests, monthly energy costs, and indoor comfort. In most cases, energy bills increase and indoor comfort decreases.

If homeowners and proprietors are interested in saving more money annually, indoor energy efficiency is a fantastic place to start. Not only can proper home sealing prevent air leakage, it can decrease utility bills and provide a more comforting indoor atmosphere. Continue reading and learn how to determine if your home or building is properly sealed, and who to call for home remodeling and handyman service you can trust.

Residential Air Sealing

During the winter, if a person feels a cold draft indoors, it is most likely due to cracks and holes in the home’s exterior. Fortunately, there are a few easy and affordable strategies to fix air leak issues. For examples, weather stripping and caulking are fast, simple, and cost-effective methodologies to reinforce air seals and repair air leaks in residential properties. Weather stripping can be applied to windows, doors, and other access areas that open to the outside. For holes, openings, crevices, and cracks around windows and doors, caulking is the quickest and most effective solution.

Many times, homeowners are under the impression that their HVAC units are broken because the comfort level is declining inside their homes. Before making this same assumption, consider the level of insulation in your home and whether or not your windows and doors are air-tight and sealed appropriately. In order to prevent paying for a replacement or service you do not require, call a professional technician for an inspection to determine what the cause is behind your increased utility bills and decreased indoor comfort.
