Do you have problems with sickness, allergies, and asthma in
your home?
Are you looking for a way to breathe easy and feel better without
medication?
We have the solution:
Air seal your home!
We liken air sealing to
getting a flu shot – it protects your health and saves you money in the long
run.
Air that leaks through your
home’s envelope not only wastes energy and increases costs, but creates an
unhealthy (and potentially unsafe) environment for you and your family.
Air leakage occurs when
outside air enters and conditioned air leaves uncontrollably through cracks and
openings. This results in poor indoor air quality and moisture problems, both
of which can affect the health of the occupants. In addition, sealing air leaks
reduces outside noise; causes less pollen, dust, insects, and pests to enter
the house; and controls humidity – all of which will improve your health in your
home.
Fumes from household and
garden chemicals, insulation particles, and dust can enter your duct system,
aggravating asthma and allergy problems. Sealing ducts can help improve indoor
air quality by reducing the amount of pollutants entering ducts and circulating
through your home.
During normal operation, gas
appliances such as water heaters, clothes dryers, and furnaces release
combustion gases (like carbon monoxide) through their ventilation systems.
Leaky ductwork in your heating and cooling system may cause “backdrafting,”
where these gases are drawn back into the living space, rather than expelled to
the outdoors. Sealing leaks can minimize this risk.
In addition to the health aspect, leaky ducts can reduce
heating and cooling system efficiency by as much as 20 percent. Sealing and
insulating ducts increases efficiency, lowers your energy bills, and can often
pay for itself in energy savings. Plus, if you’re planning to install new
heating and cooling equipment, a well-designed and sealed duct system may allow
you to downsize to a smaller, less costly heating and cooling system that will
provide better dehumidification.
