Why Your Home Feels Cold Even with the Heat On: How Air Sealing Helps
Your thermostat says 72°F, but you are still shivering on the couch. You turn the heat up a few degrees, the furnace kicks on, and yet that stubborn chill remains. If you are constantly battling drafts while your energy bills climb, your heating system might not be the problem.
Can New Insulation Improve Indoor Air Quality by Reducing Outdoor Pollutants?
Most homeowners upgrade insulation to lower energy bills & stay comfortable through extreme temperatures. What few people realize is that the same upgrade can meaningfully change what’s in the air they breathe every day inside their home.
How Health and Safety Testing Protects Your Family During Home Upgrades
Home upgrades like insulation, ducted heat pumps, or air sealing can save energy and improve comfort, but hidden risks may compromise your family’s health if not tested properly. When you seal a house tight to keep utility bills low, you alter how air, moisture, & combustion gases move through the living space. Without a systematic approach to health & safety testing, those well-intentioned efficiency projects can accidentally trap pollutants indoors, create backdrafting hazards, or foster mold growth.
