Stop Energy Loss at Its Source
Air leaks in your attic don’t just waste energy—they waste your money. At AtticNerds, we specialize in air sealing to eliminate these leaks, improving your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and air quality.
Why Air Sealing Matters
Did you know the average home has the equivalent of a 3-foot by 3-foot hole leaking air into the attic? That’s like leaving a window open year-round!
For every cubic foot of air that escapes, a cubic foot of outside air sneaks in. This constant exchange forces your HVAC system to work overtime, resulting in:
- Higher utility bills
- Uneven room temperatures
- Reduced indoor air quality
Our professional air sealing services target these leaks, ensuring your HVAC system will not waste energy conditioning air on its way out of your home.
Common Areas Prone to Air Leaks
Air leaks often hide in plain sight. Some of the most common culprits include:
- Exterior and interior wall top plate penetrations
- Recessed lighting (can lights)
- Attic access points (scuttle holes)
- Plumbing and wiring pathways
- HVAC closet and ductwork connections
- Ceiling fans and light fixtures
- Chimney flue pipes
By addressing these problem areas, we stop the cycle of air leakage, creating a more efficient and comfortable home.
Understanding the Stack Effect
Warm air in our homes is more buoyant than cooler air, this means that warm air naturally rises to the upper levels of your home and escapes through gaps or openings, while cooler air is drawn in to take its place. That is why sealing off air in your attic is so beneficial.
By sealing these air leaks, we keep your conditioned air inside, enhancing your comfort and maintaining a consistent indoor temperature. By stopping the Stack Effect with effective insulation, we create a cleaner, more energy-efficient, and a significantly more comfortable home environment.
Flawed building practices and outdated codes have led to increased air leakage, resulting in higher utility costs and reduced comfort for homeowners like you. Our AtticNerds are here to help! Trained and certified by Attic Systems Insulation to stop this madness, and bring comfort back to your home and money back into your wallet!
