Why is Air Sealing Important?

  1. Enhanced Energy Efficiency

Air sealing involves sealing gaps and cracks in your home to prevent air leaks. By reducing drafts, it complements insulation efforts and leads to significant energy savings. This means your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard, resulting in lower utility bills.

  1. Improved Indoor Air Quality

Effective air sealing prevents pollutants, allergens, and outdoor air from entering your home. This results in better indoor air quality, promoting a healthier living environment for you and your family.

  1. Increased Comfort

By sealing leaks, you ensure that conditioned air stays where it belongs. This results in consistent temperatures throughout your home and eliminates uncomfortable drafts, enhancing overall comfort.

  1. Reduced Utility Bills

With less energy needed for heating and cooling, homeowners often see a noticeable reduction in their utility bills. Investing in air sealing is a cost-effective way to enhance your home’s efficiency.

The Air Sealing Process

  1. Assessment

Our team begins with a thorough assessment of your home to identify areas prone to air leaks. This includes inspecting doors, windows, electrical outlets, and other potential leak sources.

  1. Preparation

Before sealing, we prepare the work area, ensuring that any loose materials or debris are cleared away to facilitate effective sealing.

  1. Sealing

Using high-quality sealants and materials, our trained professionals seal identified gaps and cracks. This may involve caulking, weatherstripping, and applying foam sealants to ensure a comprehensive approach to air sealing.

  1. Final Inspection

After sealing, we conduct a final inspection to ensure all areas are properly sealed and meet quality standards. We also provide recommendations on maintaining your home’s air sealing for optimal performance.

Government Rebates for Air Sealing in Ontario

One of the most attractive benefits of investing in air sealing is the financial support available through government rebates. The Ontario Home Energy Savings Program offers incentives for homeowners who improve their home’s energy efficiency, with rebates of up to $5,000 available based on the extent of air sealing performed. This includes:

  • Air sealing upgrades: Homeowners can receive substantial rebates based on the amount of air sealing completed.

These financial incentives not only help reduce your upfront costs but also encourage sustainable practices by making your home more energy-efficient.
