Air sealing is one of the most effective, non-invasive ways for Greater Philadelphia area homeowners to improve home performance. Many people don’t realize that their homes are loaded with different cracks and gaps that can allow outside air to enter and conditioned air to escape, both of which can result in indoor air quality and energy efficiency issues. Combined with the proper insulation, air sealing can be the solution that puts a stop to this problem altogether.
Take a moment to look around your home, and chances are you’ll discover areas in which air is able to freely move in and out of the home. Cracks and gaps can happen after years of settling, but they also exist as a product of when the home was first built—around pipes, for example. As you might expect, heat can escape through these gaps during the winter, with cool air escaping during the summer. This can run your utility bills through the roof, not to mention put a damper on home comfort.
Air sealing is the process of closing up these gaps and keeping air inside the home instead of allowing it to escape. Caulking and weatherstripping around windows and doors are examples of air sealing techniques. You can also choose to install replacement windows if you have cracked window panes or if your current windows are beginning to show signs of excessive wear. Basements and crawl spaces should also be looked at, where wire and pipe protrusions are common.
When it comes to work that can boost home performance, it’s nearly impossible to beat the combination of air sealing and insulation. At Green Stone Energy, we believe air sealing and insulation form the cornerstone of energy efficiency, and every house deserves to be correctly fitted with this powerful pairing. We’ll help you determine what the best course of action may be for taking home performance to the next level, making recommendations that will end up saving you a great deal of money over time.
True home performance is achievable, and air sealing can be exactly what you need to get there.
Thank you Dutch and Christian from Green Stone Energy LLC for a job well done. Our family will be feeling much warmer this winter. No more heating the outside.

The crew arrived as scheduled and completed their work in the most timely manner. They were very neat and made sure to clean up after themselves. I couldn't believe that the owner of the company even came to check on the progress of the crew and went through the whole process with me. Would definitely recommend Green Stone Energy to others - such a pleasant and hassle free experience.

The owner stopped by to check on the progress. All went well. It took about 8 hours from start to finish. My initial observations are showing a positive improvement in the houses ability to hold temperature which is an increase in overall comfort. It is too early to determine a dollar savings in gas and electric usage. I would recommend and use them again. All were very nice to deal with.

One was a bit more involved but also 80% more $$. They answered my many questions and upon recognizing at the start of the project they had forgot to include two small areas in their quote, they included the work itself anyway for the price quoted. The two gentlemen who came to do the work were kind, courteous and of no bother. They kept us informed through out the project and we felt very comfortable the service. I'd recommend Green Stone Energy on a variety of levels but a star also goes to the improvement to our comfort level in the house - that itself is remarkable. Why did we wait so long?

Extremely pleased with everything we received from Green Stone Energy. Everything, from a prompt and fair proposal to timely service appointment. Did not try to oversell us and even recommended not having certain things done as it would not improve the comfort of our home. The work was done...

Wonderful staff to work with at all levels. Highest level of professionalism and workmanship. The night that the work was done, warm air was streaming into our third floor bathroom, for the first time ever. We were amazed at how much energy we must have been wasting even though we had made many different energy saving improvements before. We're looking forward to seeing how it affects our heating bills!

Our experience with Green Stone Energy was outstanding. The first visit involved identifying the energy-saving opportunities that our home presented.

"We had an initial call with Green Stone (GS) and agreed to get an estimate. We did the same with several other contractors. The GS representative "Dutch" came to our home and was very knowledgeable of the PECO results and provided a detailed list of energy saving measures we could possibly pursue. The list was broken down into three specific areas based on PECO's report. Each section had an individual price and we were told we could do any or all of them and provided with the benefits of each. The team showed up on time, were very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. They explained what they were going to do before they did it and why they were doing it the way they were. They treated our home with respect and covered up and/or cleaned up before and after they were done for the day. The only surprises we received were pleasant. This included some attic work that did not need to be done as specified based on further inspection. The change in plan actually saved us some money from the original quote but the end result was the same. The guys finished on-time as promised and left all areas as clean or cleaner than before they arrived. "Dutch" also stopped by each day to ensure things were going well and to answer any additional questions we had. The majority of our work was attic work and pictures don't do the job justice. We are very happy with the work and results."my insulation job. In particular, I wanted to give a shout out to Greg who was on every aspect of the job.
