General air-sealing--There are gaps and holes in various places in your home that contribute to drafts, cold spots and overall leakage. Depending on the location, air-sealing and insulation can sometimes be done with one product.

Duct sealing/insulating-- The average home loses 30% of its conditioned air to leaks in the duct system. Uninsulated ducts in non-conditioned spaces are subject to the temperature changes of their environment. Air-sealing and insulating ducts improves conditioned air delivery drastically.
