Air sealing your home has a variety of benefits that contribute to improved comfort, energy efficiency, and overall health of the living environment.
Air sealing can reduce heating & cooling costs by an average of 15 percent (based on EPA estimates). At GSM services, we offer free home energy audits in which we locate any leaks or other possible energy or air quality issues in the home.
Check out this short video to see how air sealing and insulating your home can increase energy efficiency.
Sealing air leaks in your home is a simple, cost-effective way to lower heating and cooling costs, increase comfort, and create a healthier indoor environment. Heat can find its way out of the home through a wide variety of gaps, cracks, and holes. With our Blower Door Testing and Whole Home Energy Audit, we can quantify how much air is leaking out of your house and pinpoint the location of those leaks.
From the attic to the basement, our certified energy auditors at GSM can locate and seal air leaks all throughout the home. We proudly offer our services in Charlotte, Huntersville, Gastonia, Mount Holly, Belmont, Clover, Fort Mill, and many areas throughout NC & SC.
Air sealing your home has a variety of benefits that contribute to improved comfort, energy efficiency, and overall health of the living environment. Here are some of the key benefits:
Implementing air sealing measures can be a cost-effective way to improve your home's performance. For optimal results, consider combining air sealing with proper insulation, as they work hand in hand to maximize energy efficiency and comfort.
It's important to note that neither insulation nor air sealing alone are enough to reduce heat flow. Air sealing should always be done before insulation is installed. As part of our air sealing strategy, we air seal the attic space first (this is where the most significant leakage occurs). The basement and crawl space areas are our second priority. Air sealing these spaces eliminates a major source of cold air infiltration.
Fiberglass insulation is too light to stop air leakage, however, air sealing and insulation upgrades from GSM Services can possibly cut your heating and cooling costs in half.
GSM Services technicians perform a second blower door test when the air sealing work is done. The lower leakage rating confirms that the air sealing service produced a more airtight home with enhanced energy performance. This will provide you with greater comfort and lasting savings on your heating and cooling bills!
