Did you know that air leakage accounts for 25–40% of the energy lost in a typical home? Gaps, cracks, and unsealed penetrations around pipes, wires, outlets, and framing allow conditioned air to escape and outdoor air to infiltrate — driving up your energy bills and making your home uncomfortable. AI Greenhome's professional air sealing service stops these leaks at their source.
Air sealing is the process of identifying and closing all unintended pathways where air moves in and out of your home. These pathways exist throughout your home — from the basement to the attic — and include:
Gaps around electrical outlets, switches, and recessed lights
Penetrations where pipes and wires pass through walls, ceilings, and floors
Attic bypasses around chimneys, plumbing stacks, and dropped soffits
Gaps at the top and bottom plates of walls
Unsealed attic hatches and pull-down stairs
Leaks at the rim joist, where the house frame meets the foundation
Air sealing is always performed before insulation is added — ensuring that every insulation dollar delivers maximum benefit.
Reduce heating and cooling costs by 15–30% or more
Eliminate drafts and cold spots — every room stays comfortable
Prevent outdoor pollutants, allergens, and moisture from entering
Seal pathways that mice, insects, and other pests use to enter
A tighter home requires less heating and cooling, extends equipment life
Reduce moisture infiltration that leads to condensation and mold
AI Greenhome uses a blower door test to diagnose your home's air leakage before and after sealing. A large fan is temporarily installed in a doorway, depressurizing the house to make air leaks detectable. Our technicians use a combination of:
Measures overall home leakage rate, evaluates complete air exchange loops, and precisely pinpoints problem areas across structural joints.
Reveals critical temperature differences across walls and framing caused by hidden air leakage pathways and underlying thermal heat movement.
A highly systematic and detailed physical walk-through from the depths of your basement all the way up to the attic bypass structures.
Air sealing and insulation work together — they are not the same thing. Insulation slows down conductive heat transfer; air sealing completely stops the physical movement of air. A home that is well-insulated but not properly air-sealed still loses significant energy through structural air infiltration.
AI Greenhome always combines structural air sealing with localized insulation upgrades for maximum performance impact. This unified, comprehensive approach is officially required by NYSERDA programs and qualifies your home for the highest available rebate tiers.
