“The Stack Effect”—the movement of air in and out of a home in the winter.

  1. Warm air rises and escapes through attic leaks.
  2. The drop in pressure draws cold outdoor air in through your basement or crawl space.

In the summer, the Stack Effect is reversed. Hot air enters the attic, pushing cooler indoor air out the bottom of your home.

Symptoms of the Stack Effect

  • Indoor drafts, uneven home temperatures
  • High heating and cooling bills
  • Signs of allergens, moisture, and other outdoor pollutants

The Solution

✅ Air Sealing & Insulation

✅ Conditioned Attics

✅ Crawl Space Repair

These upgrades minimize the Stack Effect in your home, improving indoor comfort and health while lowering energy costs!
