Air Sealing Services in
Michigan
Drafts, cold spots, and rooms that never seem comfortable usually point to one thing: air leaking in and out of your home. Air sealing closes those hidden gaps so your heating and cooling stays where it belongs. DAR Architecture seals the leaks that drive up Southfield energy bills, and because air sealing pairs so well with insulation, it’s one of the most cost-effective, rebate-friendly upgrades available. As an income-qualified program, the first step is applying through the State of Michigan to confirm you’re eligible — we’ll guide you through it.

Why Air Sealing is the Essential First Step for Your Home
Air Sealing Matters Before Anything Else.
Insulation slows heat transfer, but it does little to stop air from moving through gaps. A home can be well-insulated and still leak badly. Air sealing addresses the gaps around penetrations, top plates, rim joists, and other hidden paths, which is why it is usually the first and most cost-effective step in any efficiency plan.
