Why You Should Be Concerned About Air Sealing Your Home — And Why Lonestar Air Sealers Is the Team to Trust

When most people think about improving their home’s energy efficiency, they picture upgrading windows or adding more insulation. But there’s an often overlooked culprit quietly draining your wallet and compromising your comfort: air leaks.

The Hidden Problem of Air Leaks

Your home’s envelope — walls, ceiling, attic, and foundation — is meant to separate conditioned indoor air from the outdoors. But small gaps, cracks, and penetrations allow outside air to sneak in and your costly heated or cooled air to leak out. This is called air infiltration, and it happens around:

  • Attic hatches & recessed lights

  • Electrical outlets & plumbing penetrations

  • Gaps around windows & doors

  • Ductwork and framing joints

These leaks might seem insignificant, but together they can add up to the equivalent of leaving a window wide open all year long.

Why You Should Be Concerned

1. Wasted Energy and Higher Bills

Your HVAC system has to work overtime to keep your home at a stable temperature, leading to higher energy costs. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates homeowners can save up to 15% on heating and cooling costs simply by properly air sealing and insulating.

2. Hot and Cold Spots

Drafty rooms, uneven temperatures, and uncomfortable spaces are often a sign of uncontrolled air flow. Sealing these leaks means a more balanced, cozy home year-round.

3. Moisture & Mold Risks

Air leaks don’t just let air in; they also let in humidity, which can lead to condensation, mold, and even structural damage over time.

4. Poor Indoor Air Quality

Unsealed homes allow outdoor allergens, dust, and pollutants to flow in, impacting the health of your family.
