Insulation, Air Sealing & Energy Efficiency: What Every Homeowner Should Know

If your energy bills seem high or your home never feels quite comfortable, outdated insulation or poor air sealing may be to blame. These hidden issues cost Puget Sound homeowners hundreds of dollars a year—and the fixes are easier than you might think.

What is Air Sealing?

Air sealing involves locating and sealing leaks in your home’s building envelope—places where outside air sneaks in and conditioned air escapes. Think: attics, crawl spaces, ducts, windows, and doors.

Why Insulation Matters

Insulation traps heat in winter and keeps it out in summer. But over time, insulation can become compressed, wet, or simply outdated. Replacing it can significantly improve energy performance.

Signs You Need an Upgrade

• Uneven room temperatures

• Drafty areas (especially near windows or floors)

• Higher-than-average energy bills

• Ice dams or attic moisture

• Mold growth in walls or ceilings
