Air Sealing
Many homes, especially older ones, have air leaks that allow heated and cooled air to escape when the air pressure differs between the inside and the outside of the home. Because these leaks allow unconditioned air to enter as conditioned air is lost, air leaks can be a significant waste of energy and money. They also make the house drafty. Many homes have hidden air leaks that require a professional weatherization person to find the leaks and seal them. Green Savers performs a blower door test to help identify where the air is leaking and, after sealing the leaks, verifies the reduction in leakage with a follow up blower door test.
