In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the importance of sealing insulation, provide step-by-step instructions on how to properly seal your home, and showcase the latest technologies and products available.
Why Sealing Insulation Matters
Proper insulation is crucial for maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home. According to the EPA, sealing air leaks and adding insulation can help you save up to 30% on your utility bills. By preventing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, sealed insulation keeps your home at a consistent temperature, reducing the strain on your HVAC system and lowering your energy consumption.
Step-by-Step Guide to Sealing Insulation
Schedule a free home energy assessment through NYSERDA EmPower+. A certified technician will evaluate your home’s energy efficiency and identify areas for improvement.
Prepare your home for sealing by removing any obstacles, such as furniture or stored items, from the areas that need to be sealed.
Use caulk to seal small cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and electrical outlets. For larger gaps, use expanding foam insulation.
Install weatherstripping around doors and windows to prevent air leaks. This simple measure can significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency.
Add insulation to your attic, walls, and floors as recommended by your energy assessment. Proper insulation levels vary depending on your home’s age, construction, and location.
