Well, it means that modern\nhomes are sealed up tightly, not letting any heat out in the winter and not\nletting any heat in during the summer. Sounds like a good deal, right? It is a\ngreat deal, so long as your home is newer and doesn\u2019t have any home performance\nproblems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aging homes may be losing their air sealing in areas, and\ntherefore causing heat transfer where there shouldn\u2019t be. This means that your\nair conditioner may not be able to cool your home as efficiently as possible,\nand the same goes for your furnace or other heating system heating you in the\nwinter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is, there\u2019s something you can do about it\u2014invest\nin professional air sealing services!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Air Sealing and How Do I Know If I Need It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re glad you asked. When you picture air sealing services,\nyou might envision someone going through your home and patching up every single\nlittle nook and cranny. This isn\u2019t what\u2019s going to happen, though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different air sealing opportunities call for different\nsolutions. You\u2019re in good hands with our team though! We provide extensive home\nenergy audits to determine exactly what\u2019s going on in your living space, to see\nwhat you need in terms of air sealing. It may be as simple as some caulking\naround a couple drafty windows, or might require something more. But how do you\nknow if you <em>need <\/em>air sealing\nservices?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Your\nEnergy Bills Have Increased Without Explanation. <\/strong>If you\u2019re running your air\nconditioner or heater, and notice that it costs significantly more than it did\naround the same time last year, it\u2019s a definite sign that conditioned air may\nbe escaping out of your home, or even into unoccupied spaces of your home like\nthe attic or crawlspace. <\/li><li><strong>You\u2019re\nHaving Trouble Controlling Indoor Humidity.<\/strong> Do you have a humidifier and\ndehumidifier system in place? If so, and the system doesn\u2019t seem to be actually\nworking, then you might have a problem with the system itself\u2014but it\u2019s very\nlikely that the problem is air leaks letting indoor humidity out or vice versa.\n<\/li><li><strong>You Notice\nUneven Heating or Cooling.<\/strong> Depending on the season, you may notice uneven\nspots throughout your home when it comes to temperature. Perhaps your kitchen\nseems colder than it should be in the winter because air is leaking out the\nback kitchen door. Or maybe in the summer heat seems to be trapped in the\nliving room. Whatever the case, an air leak may be to blame. <\/li><li><strong>You\u2019ve\nNoticed Drafts Near Your Door or Window Frames.<\/strong> Have you ever been sitting\nunder a window or near a door and felt a slight breeze that\u2019s a different\ntemperature from your HVAC system? You may be feeling a draft coming in from\noutside. <\/li><li><strong>Your Indoor\nAir Quality Is Suffering.<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s allergens or mold spores, you don\u2019t\nwant contaminants in the air you breathe. If you notice dust buildup more than\nnormal or family members getting sick, it could be the sign that germs and\npollutants are making their way into your home through air leaks. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way to know what\u2019s going on with your home for sure\nis to contact a professional who knows exactly what to look for. We look\nforward to getting home comfort to back to a level you deserve. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>When you need a trusted <a href=\"\/service-areas\/roswell-ga-air-conditioning-heating-plumbing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Roswell, GA HVAC company<\/a>, look no further than DC Cheek Heating, Cooling &amp; Plumbing. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\">Contact us<\/a> today! <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it means that modern homes are sealed up tightly, not letting any heat out in the winter and not letting any heat in during the summer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[96,95],"class_list":["post-457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-home-improvement","tag-hvac-company","tag-roswell"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
