Air leaks can make your home uncomfortable. During the cold Ohio winter you may experience drafty windows and doors, cold walls or ceilings, and ice buildup. In the summer you may experience uncomfortably hot ceilings or rooms, no matter how low the A/C is set. All of these examples are symptoms of air leaks or poor insulation.
There are many ways to fix air leaks, such as caulking, using spray foam, and weather stripping smaller cracks and gaps. Plywood, drywall and rigid foam insulation may be used for plugging larger holes. Sheet metal and high-temperature caulking can be used to close gaps around chimneys and furnace flues.
Home air sealing is a process recommended by EPA to help increase the comfort and energy efficiency of your home by improving the seal of “envelope” – the outer walls, ceiling windows, and floors.
Did You Know?
If you add up all the hidden air leaks in your home, they can equal a hole the size of an open window- and can lead to a higher energy bill.
Does Your Home Have Enough Insulation?
Columbus-Area Home Insulation
Adding insulation can reduce the amount of energy it takes to heat and cool your home and can help provide consistent comfort in every part of your home, especially when the outside temperatures are the most extreme. It is important to seal air leaks before adding insulation.
To improve the envelope of your home it is important to:
Work with a home energy professional and/or insulation contractor for the best results. They can test your home and identify areas for improvement and energy-saving upgrades.
Seal air leaks to stop drafts and get the full R-value from your insulation.
Add insulation to stay comfortable during periods of extreme temperatures.
Choose ENERGY STAR-qualified windows when replacing old windows.
