        "text": "Air sealing focuses on blocking air leakage through cracks and gaps in your home's structure, while insulation resists heat flow through building materials. Both are critical for a truly energy-efficient home. Insulation alone cannot prevent drafts or air infiltration if significant air leaks remain; conversely, sealing leaks without adequate insulation will not optimize thermal performance. Our comprehensive approach often involves assessing and upgrading both air sealing and insulation simultaneously to create a robust thermal envelope that enhances functionality and comfort.",
