Air Sealing
Air sealing is the process of identifying and closing gaps, cracks, and leaks in your home’s windows, doors and basement. These small leaks might seem harmless, but together, they can add up to the equivalent of leaving a window wide open all year round.
At NYS Easy Air, we specialize in air sealing as a core part of our weatherization services — improving your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and health. Openings, gaps, and holes around your house let air enter and exit, making your home an uncomfortable place to live. Air leaks around windows and doors, recessed lighting, and the attic access hatch can all be responsible for high energy bills. Air sealing closes these gaps and holes, reducing energy waste and preventing indoor drafts.
Windows, Baseboards, and Doors
The main problem with windows, baseboards, and doors is not the material that has been used to make them, but improper installation. Air and heat are allowed to infiltrate or escape your house through gaps between the wall and the door or window frame. Proper insulation and air sealing protect your home against uncomfortable indoor drafts.
Plumbing Penetrations
Almost anywhere that piping moves in and out of your house, there is a gap that wastes energy. Insulating and sealing your plumbing penetrations fixes these air leaks and makes your home more comfortable year-round.
Why Air Sealing Matters
Without proper air sealing, your heating and cooling systems have to work overtime to maintain indoor temperatures, costing you more money and wearing down your equipment faster. But poor air sealing doesn’t only cost you a higher energy bill, it costs you your health. Here are some benefits of air sealing include:
- Improved Indoor Air Quality – by preventing outdoor pollutants, allergens, and moisture from entering your home, air sealing supports a healthier living environment. This significantly reduces asthma & allergy triggers and symptoms.
- Increased Comfort – say goodbye to drafty rooms, cold floors, and hot spots. Air sealing helps keep temperatures consistent throughout your home. It also reduces asthma and allergy symptoms making for more comfortable living.
- Lower Energy Bills – sealing air leaks reduces energy waste, which translates directly into savings on your monthly utility costs. This means more money you can put towards things that matter for you and your family.
- Better HVAC Performance – when less air escapes or enters through leaks, your HVAC system doesn’t need to work as hard — extending its life and reducing maintenance needs.
- Moisture & Mold Prevention – sealing air leaks helps prevent excess humidity from creeping into walls and insulation, which can lead to mold growth and structural damage. Mold also triggers asthma & allergy so by preventing mold and moisture build up, you are also alleviating asthma symptoms.

Air leaks are most commonly found in:
- Around windows and doors
- Plumbing penetrations
- Recessed lighting
- Attic access hatch
