Seal Air Leaks First: A Smart Step Toward Energy Savings

by immudicon HOME

Before investing in new insulation or heating upgrades, it’s important to seal air leaks first. Even small gaps around windows, doors, and vents can significantly reduce your home’s energy efficiency and comfort levels.

A-1 Insulation allows warm air to escape and cold air to enter, forcing your heating system to work harder. This not only raises energy bills but also shortens the lifespan of your HVAC equipment.

Why Air Sealing Comes Before Insulation

By sealing leaks before adding insulation, you create a tighter, more efficient building envelope. Use weatherstripping, caulk, or spray foam to close gaps around openings. You can also hire professionals to perform a blower door test to find hidden leaks.

Proper air sealing is one of the most effective ways to reduce heat transfer and maintain consistent indoor temperatures.
