Weatherization

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “air infiltration can account for 30% or more of a home’s heating and cooling costs and contribute to problems with moisture, noise, dust, and entry of pollutants, insects and rodents.”

If your home had a hole the size of a cantaloupe in the middle of your front door, wouldn’t you cover it up? Well, most homes have cracks and gaps all the way around the door that add up to the size of a cantaloupe and this is just the door. Windows and outside walls also contribute to air leakage, but the biggest holes are usually hidden from view.

With Home Energy Solution we use state-of-the-art diagnostic testing to track down those hidden leaks, then caulk and seal to prevent your energy dollars from escaping. We do this by conducting a professional energy audit using a blower door test to uncover the areas of your home that need attention. Home Energy Solution will then address the common areas of air infiltration by caulking and sealing gaps and holes where accessible, install insulated switch and outlet gaskets, insulate and seal attic and crawlspace hatches, adjust and seal doors, caulk and seal wall and ceiling penetrations where accessible, and locate and identify potential problems that mechanical and electrical contractors may have to address.
