Air sealing is the process of filling the tiny cracks and gaps found within a home. This service is instrumental in allowing you to save money on energy bills and keep your home comfortable, especially if you’ve experienced drafts during the winter or just can’t seem to keep your home cool during the summer months. When air sealing services are combined with spray foam insulation, it’s one of the most effective routes to take for a more comfortable, energy efficient home.
At Energy Smart Home Improvement, we combine our building science knowledge and experience with diagnostic tools to pinpoint even the smallest of air holes and seal them up permanently. This is the benefit of hiring a professional home air sealing service near you in Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, Millersburg, and the greater Carlisle area—peace of mind that each and every hole was found and sealed!

Unconditioned air entering living spaces is a leading cause of cold and hot rooms. Air leakage is also often the cause of temperature differences between the first and second floors.
Your attic insulation acts as a dirty filter when air is allowed to exchange between living spaces and unconditioned areas above. Air sealing stops this air exchange and can help improve indoor air quality.
The EPA estimates that between 25% and 30% of your money spent on heating and cooling is lost through leaks in your attic, basement, and other areas.
Air sealing is essential along your home’s building envelope and along the attic floor, where conditioned indoor air often seeps into the attic. Another key area that needs air sealing is the rim and band.
The rim and band detail in your home is where the wood framing sits above your foundation. In most houses, it is one of the biggest sources of heat loss and air infiltration. The air entering through this area can also contain high levels of moisture, increasing the likelihood of micro-bacterial growth and mold growth in the basement, undermining the health of the entire home. Even pests like spiders, bugs, and mice can enter your home in this vulnerable area!
