Air Barrier Sealing
Heat Loss Management provides services designed to shore up the building's air barrier and insulation. Business owners and homeowners lose millions of dollars every year in utility costs for heating and air conditioning their properties. One of the largest reasons for this is energy inefficiency caused by air leaks throughout a property. Air barrier sealing is one of the best ways to address this problem and ensure that your building is efficient. We are Aeroseal Envelope dealers in Massachusetts and New England.

What Is Air Barrier Sealing?
Air Barrier Sealing works by finding and sealing any potential air leaks throughout a building. This is done by pressurizing a building using a modified blower door. Naturally, air will move towards any potential leaks. Aeroseal Envelope remote seal stations placed strategically throughout the building will distribute non-toxic water-based sealant into the air. As the air moves through the leaks the sealant seals up these holes. This system allows us to guarantee that a building passes a blower door test.
What Is a Blower Door Test?
A blower door test measures the air movement through a building envelope. During the test, a building is depressurized using a blower door to exhaust air out of a building until the pressure differential between the inside and outside of a building is negative 50 Pascals. During the test, contractors take measurements of how much air is moved to maintain the 50 Pascal pressure difference.
Other Benefits of Air Barrier Sealing
Because air barrier sealing finds and plugs up leaks throughout your building it has a variety of benefits for property owners. First and foremost, you will spend less on heating and air conditioning throughout the year which is great for your wallet and great for energy costs. This also means it is less likely that you will experience drafts or temperature inconsistency throughout your building. On top of that, air barrier sealing also helps reduce outdoor noise pollution which makes it a great option for people who live in denser communities.
