Common Sources Of Air Leaks

Gaps around window and door frames, attic hatches, recessed lighting, and where plumbing or wiring penetrates walls are among the most common places conditioned air escapes.

Why It Matters More In South Florida

Air leaks force your AC to work harder to maintain temperature, driving up cooling costs in a climate where the system already runs most of the year.

How Air Leaks Connect To Attic Performance

Leaks between living space and the attic let humid outside air infiltrate, which can affect both energy costs and moisture levels in the attic itself.

Finding And Sealing Leaks

A visual inspection combined with checking known problem areas — attic hatches, recessed lights, penetrations — catches most significant leaks without specialized equipment.
