Maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ) is essential for a healthy, comfortable home. Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t realize how much the integrity of their home’s “envelope”—the walls, roof, windows, and doors—affects their indoor air. When small gaps and cracks develop around these areas, outdoor pollutants, allergens, and dust can sneak into your living spaces, impacting your air quality and even your health.
Air sealing is one of the most effective ways to boost indoor air quality and improve overall energy efficiency in the home.
How efficient is your house? You might wonder what we mean by that. Are we talking about the electricity, the furnace, the insulation, the air conditioning system … what?
