Air sealing plus insulation saves an average of 15% on heating and cooling (ENERGY STAR). You aren't just losing air — you're bleeding money from your wall outlets and window corners.
Get the Thermal Recovery KitWe pair the precision of the FLIR TG165-X with DAP Touch 'n Foam — your home stays sealed for years, not months.
Run a business card along exterior door frames. If it slides through, air is getting through that gap too, and new weatherstripping will close it.
Feel the wall around electrical outlets on exterior walls. Cold drafts = missing gaskets. A single unsealed outlet on an outer wall leaks as much air as a 2-inch hole.
Use a candle or thin thread at window corners. Any flicker = a gap. Window sash corners are the #1 overlooked leak point in homes older than 10 years.
Check for air movement around your attic access panel. An unsealed attic hatch acts like a chimney, pulling conditioned air upward and forcing your HVAC to work 20% harder year-round.
Enter your yearly heating and cooling cost to apply ENERGY STAR’s published average.
Every product above, plus the next steps for winter, in one list.
