Most homes in Edmonton are not properly sealed. Air infiltration and leakage play the largest part in inflated energy bills.
However, while this is true, it can cost significant amount of money to seal and properly insulate an existing home. With this said, I would only recommend sealing your home if 1) you are about to do a large home renovation, or 2) you renovate your home room by room, and seal as you go.
An improperly sealed home will cause increased heat and cold air loss, moisture problems, and insect entry into the house. Here is a guide on how to properly seal your home.
