Reduce Energy Costs, Improve Comfort

Energy efficiency is a top priority for homeowners and builders throughout British Columbia, whether in Vancouver, Whistler, Burnaby, or Fraser Valley communities. Proper sealing of a building’s envelope and ductwork plays a vital role in reducing energy costs, enhancing indoor comfort, and improving indoor air quality. One of the most effective solutions available today is Aeroseal technology, offered locally by Airtight Solutions.

Why Sealing Your Home Matters in BC

In the diverse climate regions of BC—from the coastal zones of Vancouver and West Vancouver to the mountain areas of Whistler and Pemberton—air leakage can significantly impact a building’s energy performance. Uncontrolled leaks allow heated or cooled air to escape, forcing HVAC systems to work harder and consume more energy. This results in higher utility bills and added wear on heating and cooling systems.

Additionally, building envelope leaks can introduce pollutants, drafts, and humidity issues, which are especially problematic in BC’s humid and variable climate. Addressing these leaks is essential for achieving energy-efficient homes that meet modern standards like ENERGY STAR, LEED, or Net Zero—standards that many BC homeowners and builders are aiming for.

What is Aeroseal?

Aeroseal is an innovative, non-invasive sealing technology designed specifically for sealing leaks within homes and buildings efficiently. It involves aerosolizing a water-based, non-toxic sealant into the duct system or building envelope, which then finds and seals leaks from the inside out.

Airtight Solutions provides Aeroseal services across many regions in BC, including Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Fraser Valley, and the Sea to Sky Corridor, including Whistler and Pemberton. The process takes less than three hours and yields verified, guaranteed results that improve both energy efficiency and indoor comfort.

How Does Aeroseal Work?

The process begins with diagnosing the amount and location of leaks with a blower door test. Once identified, a tailored application of sealant is aerosolized and introduced into the pressurized space. The sealant particles automatically seek out and seal leaks—up to ½ inch in size—building a durable, flexible barrier.

This automatic sealing ensures even hidden leaks behind walls or within attics are effectively addressed. After sealing, the system measures and verifies improvement, providing homeowners and builders with documentation of the enhanced airtightness.

Benefits of Using Aeroseal for Home Sealing in BC

1. Enhanced Energy Efficiency

Sealing leaks reduces the loss of conditioned air, leading to lower heating and cooling costs across BC’s climate zones, from Vancouver’s mild winters to colder mountain regions.

2. Improved Indoor Comfort

Removing drafts and temperature inconsistencies results in a more comfortable indoor environment, whether you reside in Burnaby, Langley, or chatting about homes in the Fraser Valley.

3. Better Indoor Air Quality

Sealing envelope leaks prevents pollutants and humidity infiltration, which is especially important in humid coastal areas like Richmond and North Vancouver.

4. Cost-Effective and Fast

Delivering airtight homes builds trust. Your clients don’t want to talk about blower door results. They want a house that works as promised.

5. Environmentally Friendly

The water-based, VOC-free sealant meets BC environmental standards, helping homes achieve green building certifications like LEED or Passive House.
