Air Infiltration

There are hundreds of holes throughout a typical home's exterior. These gaps and holes are often incurred during framing, and from penetrations for wiring, plumbing, and ducts. Air sealing the house's envelope combined with proper ventilation, can reduce your energy bills and eliminate unwanted drafts and pollutants.

Reduced air infiltration combined with proper ventilation not only reduces your energy bills but it can also improve the quality of your indoor air. Outdoor air that leaks indoors makes it difficult to maintain comfort and energy efficiency. According to the Department of Energy, air leakage can contribute as much as 50% of a building’s energy loss.
