When it comes to air leaks, the problem is unfortunately widespread and certainly not isolated. The reason that air leaks occur in homes is that the majority of homes are under-insulated and have bad air sealing. Since your home was originally built, standards (codes and regulations) have come a long way meaning your home probably isn’t up to code.

In fact, even new homes can have air leaks that cost you thousands over the years. Each corner, joint, wall, or door has the potential for losing energy through a lack of proper air sealing.

It’s clear that air sealing is essential for energy-savvy homes.

This means that in the summer, warm air will find a way in, and in the winter, cold air will do the same. With this perpetual cycle, you could be paying close to double what you actually would need to pay for your heating and cooling if your home had good air sealing for energy conservation.
