Hidden gaps in your home let hot, humid outside air pour in and conditioned air bleed out. Air sealing closes those pathways so your AC works less and your home stays comfortable all summer.
Air sealing in Conway, AR means finding and closing the hidden gaps in your attic, crawl space, and walls where outside air enters and conditioned air escapes - most jobs for a typical home are completed in one day. A contractor uses foam, caulk, and weatherstripping to plug gaps around pipes, light fixtures, wall framing, and crawl space rims that are invisible from inside your living space. The result is a home that holds its temperature better and an air conditioner that cycles less.
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that the average home loses 25 to 40 percent of its heating and cooling energy through air leaks. In Conway's climate - where the cooling season runs from May through September and outdoor humidity is relentless - those leaks translate directly to higher Entergy bills every single month. Air sealing is also the foundation for any insulation upgrade. Adding basement insulation or attic insulation on top of unsealed gaps is like putting a blanket over a broken window - the gaps need to be closed first.
The ENERGY STAR Seal and Insulate program identifies air sealing as one of the highest-impact improvements a homeowner can make - and for Conway homes with crawl spaces and older attic hatches, the payback is often faster than homeowners expect.
If your electric bill climbs sharply from May through September - especially if neighbors in similar homes pay noticeably less - air leaks are a likely contributor. Conway's long cooling season means your AC runs for months, and every gap in your home's shell makes it work harder. A high summer bill is one of the clearest signs conditioned air is escaping.
If one room is always hotter or stuffier than the rest of the house, or if you feel a faint draft near a wall or ceiling, air is moving through gaps it should not be. This is common around older attic hatches, recessed light fixtures, and rooms above a crawl space. The problem is usually not the HVAC system - it is the house itself leaking.
Conway's summer humidity is relentless. If your crawl space or attic has air leaks, that moisture-laden outdoor air is constantly seeping into your living areas. If your home feels clammy, if there is condensation on windows or pipes, or if there is a faint musty smell that will not go away, humid outside air is getting in through gaps - and air sealing is the fix.
Homes built in Conway before modern energy codes were adopted were simply not constructed to be airtight. If your home is 30 or more years old and has never had a professional energy assessment, there is a very high probability it has significant air leaks - even if you have added insulation over the years. An assessment is a low-cost first step.
Conway Insulation performs comprehensive air sealing using foam, caulk, and weatherstripping throughout your home's thermal envelope. We focus on the attic floor - where heat exchange is most dramatic - as well as crawl space rim joists, plumbing and electrical penetrations, recessed light fixtures, and attic hatches. For homes with crawl spaces, which are common throughout Conway and the surrounding area, we also address the foundation vents and the rim joist where your floor framing meets the foundation wall. Pairing this work with attic air sealing gives you the most complete coverage in the zones where heat and moisture move most aggressively.
We use a blower door test before and after every job so you have a measurable record of the improvement - not just our word for it. Most contractors skip this step. We include it because it is the only way to confirm the work was actually effective. Every job is quoted in writing before we start, and we explain exactly where we found leaks and what we did to close them.
Best for homes where heat enters through the ceiling, driving up cooling costs through Conway's long summers.
Suited for the large share of Conway homes on crawl space foundations where humid air enters from below.
For homeowners who want a complete envelope treatment - attic, crawl space, walls, and penetrations addressed together.
For homeowners adding insulation who want gaps closed first so the insulation works as intended.
Conway's combination of long, humid summers and a large share of pre-1990 housing stock creates a situation where air sealing pays off faster than in cooler or drier climates. Many of the established neighborhoods around downtown Conway and near the university campuses have homes built in the 1960s and 1970s - before airtight construction was standard. Those homes are constantly exchanging indoor air with the hot, humid outdoors through gaps that have never been sealed. Homeowners in Benton and the surrounding area face the same climate conditions and see the same results from this work.
Conway's crawl space homes are a specific case worth noting. An open or poorly sealed crawl space acts like a direct channel for humid outdoor air to flow under your living areas - raising indoor humidity, creating musty smells, and making your air conditioner work harder every day it runs. Sealing the crawl space rim joist and foundation vents is often the single highest-impact part of an air sealing job for Conway homes. Homeowners in Sherwood deal with the same crawl space conditions and find the improvement immediately noticeable. Entergy Arkansas has also offered rebate programs for qualifying air sealing and insulation projects - worth checking before you schedule.

We walk through your home and run a blower door test to measure exactly how leaky it is. We check the attic, crawl space, and key penetrations, then give you a written estimate that lists where your biggest leaks are and what we will do to close them.
The crew works primarily in the attic and crawl space using foam and caulk to seal gaps. You can stay home. You may notice some noise and a mild, temporary smell from the materials - both clear quickly. Your living areas are largely undisturbed.
After the sealing is complete, we run the blower door test again so you have a measurable before-and-after comparison. We walk you through what was done and give you any documentation you need for Entergy rebate or federal tax credit claims.
