Attic Air Sealing in Broward County, FL
The step most companies skip. We seal the gaps before we blow the insulation — because insulation can't stop air, and your ceiling is full of holes you can't see.
Your Ceiling Is Leakier Than You Think
Every recessed light, ceiling fan box, plumbing pipe, wiring hole, and interior wall top is a small open window between your cooled rooms and your 130° attic. Individually they're tiny; together, a typical Broward home's ceiling leaks like a fully open window. Cooled air rises out through them all day, and attic heat pushes down through the same paths. Blown-in insulation slows heat moving through material — but it does not stop air moving through holes. That's what sealing is for.
- Gaps sealed with fire-rated caulk and foam around accessible fixtures, pipes, and top plates
- Done before insulation goes in — the only time it's physically possible to do it right
- Included in every insulation quote — this is part of the job, not an upsell
- Baffles installed at soffits so your attic keeps breathing the way it's designed to
Why It's "Where the Savings Hide"
ENERGY STAR’s widely-cited ~15% savings figure (on heating and cooling costs) is for air sealing plus insulation — not insulation alone. Skipping the sealing step is how two identical-looking jobs end up with different electric bills. It's also why we treat sealing as part of installation rather than a separate line item: doing it later means digging through fresh insulation to reach the ceiling, which nobody ever actually does. One visit, right order: seal, then blow, then see what the whole job costs.
