Duct chases starting in the basement can worsen the "Stack Effect" in your home, pulling cold basement air up into your walls, and pulling warm air from your walls up into the attic. For this reason we proceeded to seal around all air ducts.
The ductwork in this Brighton home runs through the cold attic. By the time the heated air reached the bedrooms, it was luke-warm at best. The walls and floors were cold, and the bedrooms were drafty.
We insulated the attic and the ducts. We sealed the duct and stopped the drafts, making the bedrooms cozy, warm, and energy efficient.
This basement below the master bedroom had no insulation and was preventing this home from heating and cooling properly. The master bedroom felt drafty and was always hotter or colder than the rest of the home. We sealed the flooring and walls and insulated it to prevent excess air from entering and leaving through the basement. This homeowner can now enjoy a more comfortable and cozy home without worrying about high utility bills.
This customer made the great choice to insulate their attic before the winter season and now their home will be more comfortable than ever. This job will not only help their home stay warm throughout the winter, but will also help it to stay cool during the summer months.

This crawlspace was not sealed off from the outside. It had a tremendous amount of air moving through it with holes to the outside. We installed a vapor barrier and spray foam on the walls and rim joists.
