What Is Air Sealing?
Air sealing is the process of closing small cracks, gaps, and openings that allow conditioned air to escape from your home. These leaks commonly form around ductwork, plumbing and electrical openings, recessed lights, attic hatches, and window or door frames.
Even the tiniest gaps can have a big impact. When warm air escapes in winter and cool air leaks out in summer, your HVAC system must run longer to maintain comfort. Professional air sealing eliminates these leaks by creating a continuous air barrier around your home, improving comfort, efficiency, and air quality. The result? Fewer drafts, consistent temperatures from room to room, and lower energy costs, all while helping your home feel cozier year-round.
Signs Your Home May Need Air Sealing
You might not see air leaks, but you can certainly feel their effects. Common signs that your home could benefit from air sealing include:
- Uneven room temperatures or hot/cold spots
- Drafts around windows, doors, or baseboards
- Rising heating and cooling bills
- Excess dust or indoor allergens
- HVAC systems that run constantly
- Difficulty maintaining comfortable humidity levels
If any of these sound familiar, a home energy audit from Complete Home Solutions can pinpoint the source of the problem and show where your home is losing air.

Air sealing also supports a greener home by reducing your carbon footprint, a win for both you and the environment.
Our Air Sealing Process
At Complete Home Solutions, we take a detailed, science-based approach to diagnosing and fixing air leaks:
- Home energy audit: Using blower door testing and infrared imaging, our BPI-certified auditors locate leakage points throughout your home.
- Preparation: We protect surfaces, ensure safe working conditions, and plan the most effective sealing strategy.
- Sealing: Our technicians apply caulking, weatherstripping, and expanding foam insulation to close leaks around problem areas.
- Verification: We re-test airflow after sealing to confirm improved efficiency and reduced leakage.
- Rebate assistance: We help homeowners claim Pepco and SMECO incentives for qualifying air sealing and insulation work.
Every project is tailored to your home’s specific needs, ensuring optimal results that you can feel immediately.
Common Areas That Benefit from Air Sealing
Air leaks can occur anywhere in your home, but some areas are more prone to energy loss than others. Our team pays special attention to:
- Attics and knee walls: Major sources of heat escape in winter and heat gain in summer.
- Recessed lighting fixtures: Often leak air directly into unconditioned spaces.
- Duct connections and vents: Can waste up to 30% of conditioned air.
- Rim joists and crawl spaces: Common areas for moisture and air infiltration.
- Door and window frames: Gaps in framing can cause noticeable drafts.
- Chimney and plumbing penetrations: Openings that compromise your home’s air barrier.
By targeting these areas, we help your home maintain steady, efficient airflow.
