Georgia Insulation is one of the most common causes of energy loss in homes, even with insulation installed. When gaps and cracks exist in ceilings, walls, or around attic openings, they allow warm or cool air to escape, forcing heating and cooling systems to work harder. Addressing these leaks is vital to achieving the full benefits of insulation and maintaining consistent indoor comfort.

Identifying and Sealing Problem Areas

Air leaks often occur around chimneys, vents, recessed lighting, and attic hatches. Sealing these areas before insulating ensures the thermal barrier remains unbroken. Techniques such as caulking, weather-stripping, and foam sealants effectively close gaps. Once sealed, insulation can perform efficiently without air bypassing it.

Combining proper sealing with high-quality insulation materials like spray foam or blown-in cellulose creates a tight envelope that minimizes heat loss. Infrared_thermography is often used to detect invisible leaks and assess insulation performance. By eliminating leaks, homeowners reduce energy waste, improve comfort, and extend the life of their HVAC systems.
