Give us a call to see how we can help.
The average home's air leakage can be equivalent to leaving one of your windows open every day, all year long. Air leakage or infiltration, occurs when outside air enters a house through cracks and openings. Moldy and dusty air can enter a leaky house through attics or foundations causing health problems. Proper sealing of these cracks and openings in your home can:
 

- Significantly reduce heating and cooling costs
- Improve building durability
- Create a healthier indoor environment
 

 

 

Sealing leaks and insulating can
reduce your energy bill by up to 40%.

Air sealing is one of the most significant energy efficiency improvements you can make to your home. Air sealing will not just reduce energy costs; it will also improve your home's comfort and durability. When you contact A.B. May to get a Home Performance Evaluation, one of our trained technicians will use a smoke pencil and thermal imaging to help identify leaks in your home. They will also assess your insulation, making certain it is adequate to block heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
 

Give A.B. May a call and we can
help answer the following questions:

- What can I do to improve my
  home's energy efficiency?
- Is adding insulation enough or
  my best option?
- Why should I seal and insulate.
