Air Sealing | Greater Portland, Maine

Seal the Leaks.
Feel the Difference.

Most Maine homes lose 30–40% of their conditioned air through hundreds of tiny, invisible leaks. We find every one of them and seal them permanently. Often the fastest-payback home improvement available.

  • Blower door diagnostic testing to find every leak
  • Sealing around all wiring, plumbing, and penetrations
  • Rim joist, attic hatch, and top plate sealing
  • Typically reduces heating bills by 20–30%
  • Included in Efficiency Maine insulation rebates, up to $8,000
  • We always combine air sealing with insulation for maximum results and rebate eligibility

How We Seal Your Home

We use diagnostic testing to find every leak, not just the obvious ones.

1

Blower Door Test

We depressurize your home with a calibrated fan to measure air leakage and identify exactly where conditioned air is escaping. Learn how blower door tests work as part of air sealing.

2

Systematic Sealing

Our crew works through every penetration, bypass, and gap, using foam, caulk, and weatherstripping as appropriate for each location.

3

Post-Test Verification

We run a second blower door test after sealing to measure the improvement and verify we've met the target air change rate.

What Our Customers Say

"I had a cold corner in my living room for 10 years. After Horizon sealed the rim joists and attic bypasses, it was gone. The house feels completely different: no more drafts, no more cold spots. Wish I'd done this sooner."

"Working with Horizon Homes was a great experience. They were very detail oriented, extremely knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Was very impressed with their professionalism and communication skills."

"The blower door test was eye-opening. I had no idea how leaky my house was. After the sealing work, the difference was immediate. The house holds temperature so much better and the heating system runs less often."

Air Sealing FAQs

Air sealing closes the gaps and cracks in your home's building envelope that allow conditioned air to escape and outside air to enter. Even well-insulated homes lose significant energy through air leaks around wiring, plumbing, recessed lights, attic hatches, and rim joists. Sealing these leaks is often the fastest-payback energy improvement you can make.
A blower door test uses a calibrated fan mounted in an exterior door frame to depressurize your home. This makes air leaks easier to detect and measure. We use the results to find every leak, prioritize the most impactful ones, and verify our sealing work after we finish. Read our full guide to blower door testing in Maine.
Yes. Air sealing is included in Efficiency Maine's weatherization rebate program alongside insulation. Rebates cover up to $8,000 of combined insulation and air sealing costs depending on your household income. We always perform air sealing before insulation for maximum results and rebate eligibility.
Air sealing alone typically takes 1 day. When combined with insulation (which is how we recommend it), the full project takes 1-2 days. We perform a blower door test before and after to verify the improvement.
