Air sealing is the process of closing gaps, cracks, and openings throughout a home where conditioned air can escape or outside air can enter. These leaks are commonly found around attic penetrations, plumbing and electrical openings, recessed lighting, ductwork, windows, doors, and foundation areas.
Even small openings can allow significant amounts of heated or cooled air to escape, causing your HVAC system to work harder and increasing monthly energy costs. Professional air sealing helps create a tighter building envelope by reducing uncontrolled airflow while allowing your insulation to perform more effectively.
Air sealing is often performed alongside attic insulation, spray foam insulation, or blown-in insulation because the combination provides greater overall energy efficiency than insulation alone.
Sealing air leaks reduces energy loss and helps your heating and cooling system operate more efficiently.
Air sealing minimizes drafts and helps maintain more consistent temperatures throughout your home.
Insulation works best when air movement is controlled, Air sealing helps maximize the effectiveness of your insulation system.
Reducing outside air infiltration can help limit dust, pollen, and outdoor pollutants from entering your home.
Air sealing helps reduce warm, moist air entering attic spaces where condensation can occur.
A more efficient building envelope places less demand on your furnace and air conditioner, potentially extending their lifespan. Community discussions and energy-efficiency programs consistently identify attic air sealing as one of the most impactful upgrades before adding insulation.
Many homeowners are surprised by how many places air leakage can occur.
Although they work together, air sealing and insulation serve different purposes.

Insulation slows the movement of heat, while air sealing stops uncontrolled airflow. When combined, they create a more efficient building envelope that improves comfort and reduces energy waste. Many energy professionals recommend air sealing before adding attic insulation for the best results.
Minnesota homes experience long winters, strong winds, and significant temperature swings throughout the year. These conditions can increase energy loss through even small air leaks.
