Air Infiltration ( Air Leak Testing & Sealing )
Controlling air infiltration in homes is certainly an important consideration, as it has been shown to reduce energy consumption by as much as 35% while reducing the potential for moisture, dust, noise and pollution entry into the home.
Air leakage or infiltration occurs when outside air enters a house uncontrollably through cracks and openings. Properly air sealing such cracks and openings in your home can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs, improve homes durability, and create a healthier indoor environment. Moldy and dusty air can enter a leaky house through such areas as attics or foundations. This air in the house could cause health problems.
The recommended strategy in both new and old homes is to reduce air leakage as much as possible. Air sealing is one of the most significant energy efficiency improvements you can make to your home. Air sealing will not just reduce energy costs; it will also improve your homes comfort and durability.
