What retrofit AeroBarrier looks like
We arrive in the morning, mask off any surfaces and openings the homeowner wants protected (cabinetry, flooring, plumbing, electrical), pressurize the home, and run AeroBarrier. The sealant is atomized into the air; the pressure differential drives it to every leak in the envelope — at top plates, around penetrations, behind drywall, at sheathing seams. We watch ACH50 fall on a live graph and stop when the target is hit. By dinner, the home is sealed and you're back inside.
What it's good for
- Drafty older homes losing heat through hidden gaps
- Pre-renovation envelope tightening before drywall goes back up
- Pre-sale energy upgrades (better EnerGuide rating, better resale)
- CleanBC-rebate-qualifying envelope improvements
- Mid-renovation rescue when traditional sealing isn't getting there
What it's not for
- Replacing missing insulation (sealing ≠ insulating — both matter)
- Fixing a single visible draft (a 50¢ tube of caulk is fine for that)
- Homes that are about to be gutted to the studs (do it post-drywall instead)
Rebates and the cost calculus
CleanBC's home renovation rebate program rewards measurable envelope improvements. AeroBarrier-driven ACH50 reductions typically qualify for one or more of the airtightness-based rebates. The retrofit cost is bigger than a caulking gun and smaller than re-siding the house. Most homeowners see the energy-bill savings inside the first heating season.
What we need from you
Square footage, year built, existing blower-door number if you have one, and any planned renovation work. Send us those and we'll send a retrofit quote within 24 hours. Most homes can be scheduled within 2–4 weeks.
