Any hole in a ceiling, or poor condition of door and windows and their proper closing can cause air to leak and lead to the loss of heated or cooled air that can lead to a decrease in the energy efficiency of your home. Air sealing is therefore important to an energy efficient home, and can help to reduce energy costs, and lead to better performance of heating and cooling equipment.

Agencies that provide air sealing services will conduct such audits and then give you an estimate of the work that needs to be done to seal the house adequately.

Air can also leak from lights and fans that are recessed, or around windows and doors that are on the outside walls of the house. Sump pump holes, bathroom fans, cracks in plaster or drywall, areas around electrical outlets and switches can allow air to escape from them. Crawl spaces, and basement windows are other areas that these providers of air sealing services will always look for.
