What's the easiest way to make your residential HVAC service more affordable?

Residential HVAC service accounts for the majority of a homeowner's bills. During the winter months, those bills can amount to more than your house payment. That doesn't have to happen if you choose to improve your system's efficiency and affordability rates with the help of air sealing. You may be wondering what is meant by air sealing.

Here's what the experts have to say on that topic:

• Areas of concern. It is very common for homes to have air leaks that they might not even be aware exist. Leaks can come about from a variety of reasons, which isn't surprising when you consider that even the smallest of gaps in construction can cause a leak to happen. As homes age and it shifts and settles, more gaps, more leakage. As time passes, wood shrinks and joints loosen, more leakage. This is why our technicians address attics and crawl spaces, as they among the most common sources of air leakage. Through sealing of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing penetrations we can help you combat air leakage throughout your home.
• Air leaks lead to higher energy usage and higher bills. Where leaks are, you are losing money. Either conditioned air is escaping outside, or unconditioned air is seeping inside. In both circumstances your HVAC system is working harder than it should be to compensate for leakage. The more leaks, the harder your system will run and the higher your bills will be each month.
• Trust the professionals. Our technicians have the training and the equipment necessary to locate and address leaks that might go unnoticed without having years of experience. Professional air sealing can make a difference in your home and save you 20% or more on your energy bills. Our technicians not only start each sealing with a blower door test to measure leakage but can end with another test to show that leaks were countered and your home improved.
