What do Chula Vista homeowners ask about air sealing?
How soon can you schedule air sealing in Chula Vista?

How does Chula Vista's climate affect this service?
Chula Vista is San Diego County's second-largest city, split sharply between older west-side stock (55-plus years old, original underperforming insulation) and newer east-side master-plan developments (Otay Ranch, EastLake, Rancho del Rey from 1995-2015). Different scope on each side, full upgrade west, ductwork and air-sealing tightening east.. South County air-sealing scopes mix coastal-style humidity-leak hunting in the west with inland-style heat-leak hunting in the east.
What is the biggest air leak in most San Diego homes?
Recessed lights and the attic hatch. Older recessed cans were not airtight, and most attic hatches sit on bare drywall with no gasket. Together they can equal a hand-sized hole open to the attic year-round. Both are easy fixes.
Do I need a blower-door test?
Not always. For most retrofits the pro can find the leaks visually plus a thermal camera on a cool morning. Blower-door tests make sense on whole-home performance contracts and Title 24 alteration projects, we'll tell you when it's worth the cost.
