Why Air Seal and Insulate?
Save Energy and Money.
Air sealing deals with leaks through your home’s envelope − the outer walls, interior wall sill plates in your attics, windows, doors, and other openings − which wastes a lot of energy and increases your utility costs. A well-sealed envelope, coupled with the right amount of insulation, can make a real difference on your utility bills.
At Eco Insulation we offer a range of options that take care of both critical aspects – not just insulation and R-value but air sealing as well. As much as 30-40% of your heating and air conditioning cost is lost to air leaks. Spray Foam seals every crack and penetration no matter how small, DensePak cellulose and our hybrid solutions provide a cost-effective way to reduce air leaks significantly. We also provide a stand alone Air Sealing package for your home.
Increase Comfort.
Sealing leaks and adding insulation can improve the overall comfort of your home and help to fix many of these common problems:
- Reduced noise from outside
- Less pollen, dust and insects (or pests) entering your home
- Better humidity control
- Lower chance for ice dams on the roof/eves in snowy climates
Most Homes Will Benefit from Air Sealing.
Most homes in Canada don’t have enough insulation and have significant air leaks – even new homes can reveal some startling issues. In fact, if you added up all the leaks, holes and gaps in a typical home’s envelope, it would be the equivalent of having a window open every day of the year!
