Serving Roswell, NM and surrounding areas. (575) 363-2820
High bills, dusty rooms, and uneven temperatures are often caused by hidden gaps - not your thermostat or HVAC system. We find and seal them, then test before and after so you can see the difference.
Air sealing in Roswell means finding and closing the small gaps, cracks, and openings in your home where outside air sneaks in and conditioned air leaks out - most jobs take one to two days with no major disruption to your daily routine. The biggest leaks are usually hidden in attics, around pipes, behind outlets, and at the top and bottom of walls - not around windows and doors the way most homeowners assume.
In a desert climate like Roswell's, moving air carries far more heat than conduction through a wall. That means air sealing often delivers bigger energy savings than adding insulation alone - and the two work best together. If you have already thought about attic air sealing, comprehensive air sealing services address the whole house envelope, not just the attic floor. We can also pair this work with basement insulation to close the gap where conditioned air most commonly escapes in homes with below-grade spaces.
Call us or submit an estimate request and we will test your home, show you exactly where the leaks are, and give you a written quote based on what we actually find.
If your cooling bills spike dramatically in Roswell's summer months - or heating costs feel too high for how warm you keep the house - air leakage is often the culprit. When conditioned air escapes through gaps in your home's shell, your HVAC system has to run longer just to maintain the temperature you set. This is one of the clearest financial signals that air sealing would make a real difference.
Roswell's spring winds are known for carrying fine dust across the Pecos Valley. If you find yourself dusting every few days, or notice a gritty film on windowsills after a windy day, outside air is finding its way in through gaps in your home's envelope. Air sealing closes those pathways and can dramatically reduce how much dust enters your living spaces.
If one bedroom is always colder in winter, or a room on the south side of your home feels unbearably hot in summer even with the AC running, uneven air leakage is a likely cause. No amount of thermostat adjustment will fix localized gaps near exterior walls, attic hatches, or recessed light fixtures in the ceiling.
Hold your hand near an outlet or switch plate on a wall that faces outside. If you feel cool air in winter or warm air in summer, conditioned air is escaping - or outside air is entering - through gaps in the wall cavity behind the outlet box. This simple test is one of the most reliable indicators that air sealing would help your home.
We start every job with a blower door test - a large fan mounted temporarily in a doorway that depressurizes your home and lets us measure exactly how much air it is leaking and where. This is not a guess or a visual inspection - it is a number. With that data, we seal gaps using the right material for each location: spray foam for larger gaps around pipes and framing, caulk for smaller cracks along trim and baseboards, and weatherstripping for movable parts like doors. After the work is complete, we run the blower door test again so you have a clear before-and-after comparison. If the numbers do not show meaningful improvement, you have every right to ask why.
For homes where air sealing alone will not solve the problem, we pair this work with attic air sealing - which targets the single biggest source of air loss in most Roswell homes - and with basement insulation when below-grade spaces are part of the leakage picture. Both services work together with comprehensive air sealing to close the envelope from top to bottom. Sealing first and insulating second is the sequence that actually delivers the savings you are hoping for.
Best for homes that have never had a professional energy assessment and are leaking conditioned air from multiple locations across the envelope.
Suited to homes that have already had some upgrades but still have specific problem areas - drafty rooms, leaky attic hatches, or gaps around utility penetrations.
Roswell's climate creates two distinct air sealing problems. First, the extreme temperature swings - summer highs above 100 degrees and winter nights that can drop below 20 degrees - cause building materials to expand and contract repeatedly, gradually opening new gaps in your home's shell. Second, the region's famous spring winds drive fine dust and particulates across the Pecos Valley and into any gap they can find. Homeowners with leaky homes often notice dust accumulating faster than expected and allergy symptoms that worsen on windy days. Air sealing addresses both problems at the root. The U.S. Department of Energy identifies air sealing as one of the highest-return improvements a homeowner can make, and in Roswell's climate the savings happen faster than in more moderate parts of the country.
A large share of Roswell's residential neighborhoods were built before the mid-1980s, when airtightness was not a design priority. These homes have had decades of settling, remodeling, and deferred maintenance adding more gaps over time. We serve homeowners across the region, including customers in Hobbs and Alamogordo, where similar conditions - older housing stock and a dry, windy climate - create the same need. New Mexico Gas Company offers rebates for qualifying air sealing work by participating contractors, and the current federal tax credit covers up to 30 percent of your project cost. We handle the documentation for both.
Tell us your home's age, size, and the problems you have noticed - high bills, dusty rooms, or drafty spots. We reply within one business day and schedule an in-home assessment before giving you any price.
We visit your home, run the blower door test to measure air leakage precisely, and identify exactly where the gaps are. You receive a written estimate based on what we actually find - not a one-size-fits-all quote.
The crew works through your attic, crawl space, and utility areas, sealing gaps around pipes, wiring, and framing. Most of the work happens in spaces you are not using - it is not loud or disruptive, and most jobs are finished in one to two days.
We run the blower door test again after the work is complete so you have a documented before-and-after comparison. You also receive any paperwork needed for New Mexico Gas Company rebate applications or for your federal tax credit when you file.
Free estimate. Blower door tested. Written quote before you commit. We reply within one business day.
(575) 363-2820We test your home before and after with a blower door - the same equipment used in professional energy audits - so you have a number, not a vague claim. You can see exactly how much the air leakage improved. If the results do not show meaningful progress, we keep working until they do.
A large share of Roswell's homes were built before airtightness was a standard design concern. We have worked on these homes across the city and know what to look for - from settling cracks in stucco exteriors to gaps around mid-century utility penetrations that no one has touched in decades.
We serve 12 communities across southeastern New Mexico, from Roswell to Carlsbad to Hobbs. Our familiarity with local housing conditions - stucco exteriors, evaporative coolers, slab foundations - means we show up prepared, not learning on your dime.
New Mexico Gas Company offers rebates for qualifying air sealing work, and the federal government currently offers a tax credit covering 30 percent of your project cost. We provide all the paperwork you need for both. The Building Performance Institute sets the standards we follow for testing and sealing homes correctly.
Every job is different, but the commitment is the same: find the real leaks, seal them with the right materials, and prove the work made a difference before we leave your driveway. That is what you get when you call Roswell Insulation.
