FAQ

frequently asked questions

Natural airflow helps prevent the buildup of mold and mildew throughout the house, and mechanical airflow (like the vent from your furnace) prevents unwanted and sometimes even dangerous air from remaining trapped in your house. The trouble is that many houses have problems with excess air flow, especially older homes. Gaps and cracks in your foundation, attic, and walls create little pathways for air to travel through. While these holes may be individually small, together they can create a big problem. Air sealing solves the problem of excess airflow to ensure your house has all the fresh air you need. It also helps keep excess moisture out, protecting the structural integrity of your investment and the overall health of your home

Air sealing has great upsides, and many homes need it—but if you air seal a home that isn’t properly insulated, you’ll only reap part of the benefits and won’t be able to fully regulate the temperature in your home. Insulation works like the down lining in a winter coat, helping lock in warmth in the winter and cool air in the summer, and air sealing is like a wind breaker, stopping excess airflow. If your house is heavily insulated but lacks proper air sealing, your insulation won’t have the same weather-stopping power. Plus, having a lot of insulation without proper air sealing can create secondary problems like mold and mildew buildup.

Basically…everywhere. Any gap in your home should be sealed. However, we typically focus on the two biggest problem areas - the attic and foundation. Duct work, electrical wiring, plumbing, bathroom vents, and even recessed lighting fixtures create pathways for unwanted airflow. Attic air sealing solves these issues by plugging these holes with expanding spray foam so excess air can no longer pass through.

Leaking windows and doors can also be problematic. Changing to double pane windows and installing weather strips under your door can prevent unwanted air flow.

This is a common myth. In fact, air sealing prevents stuffiness in your home. Air seal prevents warm air from entering your home. When hiring Eco Energy Bay Area to air seal your home, we bring our highly trained technicians to do the job right. Over-tightening can be problematic, which is why hiring professionals to complete your project is the best way to go.
