Attic Insulation - Too Much Air Leakage

Homes are naturally built leaky. There are dozens of air leaks going up through your home's framing, holes for ducts, pipes, electrical wires, and chimneys, all allowing air to pass through and wood shrinkage causing gaps between drywall and framing. Can lights, bath fans and air registers also create large gaps in your home allowing air you pay to heat and cool to escape. As this air escapes, new air is sucked in at the bottom of your home in a continuous cycle.
