A typical Front Range house from the 1970s or 1980s loses as much conditioned air as leaving a window open all winter. Air sealing closes those gaps, and Xcel Energy pays up to $1,000 toward the cost when the work is done right.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does Air Sealing Do for a Denver Home?<\/h2>\n<p>Air sealing stops conditioned air from escaping through gaps in your home&#8217;s building envelope, cutting heating and cooling losses at the source.<\/p>\n<p>Your home&#8217;s building envelope is the boundary between conditioned space and the outside world: walls, attic floor, rim joists, and foundation. In an unsealed house, warm air rises through the attic floor in winter (the stack effect), pulling cold outside air in through lower gaps. The furnace runs harder. The house stays drafty. You pay more.<\/p>\n<p>Denver sits in Climate Zone 5. That means long heating seasons, cold overnight lows from October through April, and wide temperature swings that stress every gap in your home&#8217;s shell. Air sealing is not optional for energy performance here. It is the foundation everything else is built on.<\/p>\n<p>The most common air leak locations in Denver&#8217;s 1960s-1990s housing stock:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Attic bypasses:<\/strong> gaps where interior partition walls meet the attic floor, often completely open to the attic space<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rim joists:<\/strong> the framing at the top of foundation walls, almost always unsealed in older homes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plumbing penetrations:<\/strong> pipes running up from the basement through top plates leave large open holes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recessed lights:<\/strong> older IC-rated or non-IC cans are a direct chimney to the attic<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electrical outlets and switches:<\/strong> on exterior walls, these pull cold air directly from the wall cavity<\/li>\n<li><strong>HVAC chases and duct boots:<\/strong> gaps around return air chases often go unsealed for decades<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>FROM THE FIELD:<\/strong> We tested a 1980s home in Westminster last month. It was leaking at 4,200 CFM50. After our air sealing work it came down to 3,100, a 26% reduction. That&#8217;s above Xcel&#8217;s 20% threshold and it qualified for the full $1,000 rebate.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does the Xcel Energy Air Sealing Rebate Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Xcel pays up to $1,000 for air sealing when a blower door test proves a 20% or greater reduction in CFM50 leakage, completed by an authorized Trade Ally contractor.<\/p>\n<p>Insulation Nation is an authorized Xcel Energy Trade Ally. That means we handle the rebate paperwork, run the pre and post blower door tests to Xcel&#8217;s exact specification, and submit the claim on your behalf. You don&#8217;t fill out a single form.<\/p>\n<p>The rebate requires a verified 20% reduction in CFM50 leakage from pre-work to post-work. Without a certified Trade Ally running both tests, there is no rebate. Claims must be submitted within 60 days of project completion.<\/p>\n<table>\n<caption>Xcel Energy Air Sealing Rebate Process<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Step<\/th>\n<th>What Happens<\/th>\n<th>Who Does It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1.

Not estimated, not eyeballed. Every step is documented and defensible if Xcel audits the claim.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is a Blower Door Test?<\/h2>\n<p>A blower door test uses a calibrated fan mounted in your front door to measure how much air your home leaks, expressed as CFM50 (cubic feet per minute at 50 pascals of pressure).<\/p>\n<p>The test works like this: a technician installs the fan frame in your front door, seals the edges, and runs the fan until the house reaches 50 pascals of depressurization (roughly equivalent to a 20 mph wind hitting every surface of the house at once). A manometer reads the CFM50, the airflow required to maintain that pressure. Higher CFM50 means more leakage.<\/p>\n<p>For Xcel&#8217;s air sealing rebate, we need a post-work CFM50 that is at least 20% lower than the pre-work reading. We record both numbers, document them in Xcel&#8217;s required format, and attach them to your rebate submission.<\/p>\n<table>\n<caption>Blower Door CFM50 Reading Guide<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>CFM50 Reading<\/th>\n<th>What It Means for Your Home<\/th>\n<th>Xcel Air Sealing Rebate Eligible?<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Under 2,000 CFM50<\/td>\n<td>Tight home; good baseline air sealing already in place<\/td>\n<td>Possible, but 20% reduction harder to achieve in absolute terms<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2,000 to 4,000 CFM50<\/td>\n<td>Average to leaky; typical for Denver homes built before 1990<\/td>\n<td>Yes.

That&#8217;s the sweet spot for air sealing payback.<\/p>\n<h2>Where Do Denver Homes Lose the Most Air?<\/h2>\n<p>Denver&#8217;s housing stock from the 1960s through the 1990s was built before energy codes required air sealing. These homes have specific, predictable leak locations that we address on every job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Attic Bypasses<\/strong><br \/>\nOpen top plates on interior partition walls connect directly to the attic. Warm air pours through year-round. We seal them with two-component spray foam and rigid board.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Rim Joists<\/strong><br \/>\nThe rim joist sits on top of your foundation wall, just below the first floor. Almost never air sealed in pre-1990 Denver homes. We use closed-cell spray foam cut to depth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Plumbing Chases and Pipe Penetrations<\/strong><br \/>\nWhere drain stacks and supply lines pass through top plates, gaps are often large. We pack them with low-expansion foam and fire-rated caulk where code requires.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Recessed Light Cans<\/strong><br \/>\nOlder non-IC-rated cans are open to the attic and act as heat chimneys. We install fire-rated covers in the attic and seal the perimeter with caulk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Electrical Outlets and Switches on Exterior Walls<\/strong><br \/>\nExterior-wall outlets pull cold air from the wall cavity into living space. We install foam gaskets behind every cover plate and seal wiring penetrations at the top plate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Basement Band Joists and Sill Plates<\/strong><br \/>\nThe sill plate sits on the foundation and is rarely sealed in older homes. Cold air infiltrates behind finished walls through this gap. We seal with caulk or foam before the post blower door test.<\/p>\n<h2>Air Sealing vs Adding More Insulation: Do You Need Both?<\/h2>\n<p>Air sealing and insulation solve different problems. Insulation slows heat transfer by conduction. Air sealing stops heat loss by convection, through moving air. Without air sealing first, even R-60 insulation leaves real performance on the table.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s why: loose-fill insulation is air-permeable. If air moves through it, driven by the stack effect or wind, its effective R-value drops significantly. A well-insulated but unsealed attic still bleeds heat. Air sealing creates the air barrier. Insulation builds on top of it. The two work together, not independently.<\/p>\n<p>For Xcel rebates, doing both matters financially. Air sealing earns up to $1,000. Attic insulation earns up to $1,250. Combined, you can recover up to $2,250 on a single project. Insulation Nation runs that combined project every week on the Front Range.<\/p>\n<table>\n<caption>Air Sealing vs Insulation vs Combined: Denver Cost and Return Comparison<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Scope<\/th>\n<th>Typical Project Cost<\/th>\n<th>Xcel Rebate<\/th>\n<th>Estimated Annual Energy Savings<\/th>\n<th>Simple Payback Period<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Air Sealing Only<\/td>\n<td>$800 &ndash; $1,500<\/td>\n<td>Up to $1,000<\/td>\n<td>$150 &ndash; $300<\/td>\n<td>1 &ndash; 3 years (after rebate)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Blow-In Insulation Only<\/td>\n<td>$1,200 &ndash; $2,500<\/td>\n<td>Up to $1,250<\/td>\n<td>$200 &ndash; $400<\/td>\n<td>2 &ndash; 4 years (after rebate)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Air Sealing + Insulation<\/td>\n<td>$1,800 &ndash; $3,500<\/td>\n<td>Up to $2,250<\/td>\n<td>$350 &ndash; $600<\/td>\n<td>Under 2 years (after rebate)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The combined project almost always produces the best payback. We assess both in one free visit and show you the numbers before any work starts.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions About Air Sealing<\/h2>\n<h3>How long does air sealing take?<\/h3>\n<p>Most Denver homes take one day from blower door pre-test to blower door post-test. Larger homes (over 3,000 square feet) with significant attic bypasses may run into a second morning. We give you a time estimate during the free audit visit and build the rebate test schedule around your availability.<\/p>\n<h3>Will air sealing make my house too tight?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Colorado&#8217;s residential building code requires mechanical ventilation when a home is tightened below certain thresholds, and our BPI-certified team follows those requirements. If your home needs a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or bath fan upgrade to meet code ventilation after sealing, we flag that before the project begins. A tight, well-ventilated home is healthier than a drafty one because you control where fresh air comes from.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I get the Xcel rebate for air sealing on an older home?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, and older homes often qualify most easily. Pre-1990 Denver homes tend to start at high CFM50 readings (3,000 to 6,000+). That gives us a lot of room to hit Xcel&#8217;s 20% reduction requirement. A home that starts at 4,500 CFM50 only needs to come down to 3,600 to qualify. We routinely hit 25 to 30% reductions on 1970s and 1980s Front Range homes.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need air sealing before or after insulation?<\/h3>\n<p>Air sealing always comes first. The attic bypass sealing happens at the attic floor level, the same level where blow-in insulation is installed. If you install insulation first, the bypasses are buried and inaccessible. We schedule air sealing, confirm the post-test, then install insulation on top of the sealed attic floor. This is the correct sequence for both performance and Xcel rebate compliance.<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule a Free Air Sealing Audit in Denver<\/h2>\n<p>Call <a href=\"tel:7204109414\">(720) 410-9414<\/a> to schedule your free blower door assessment.
