The service
What weatherization & air sealing package is, what a visit covers and where the line is.
The short answer
A weatherization and air sealing package finds and closes the gaps that let conditioned air escape and outdoor air in. Weatherization & Air Sealing Package in Santa Clara is booked through pros who cover its 7 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Old Quad, Forest Park, and Killarney Farms. In Santa Clara, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain. On NorTech, each pro sets a price and warranty for the sealing work, and you choose the pro.

What the package leaves you with
A good weatherization visit produces proof of what was found and sealed. Each pro sets what they provide.
- A starting leakage reading from a blower door test or a written survey
- Photos of the sealed areas in the attic, rim joist and around doors
- A repeat reading after the work, when a test is included
- A list of the spots that could not be reached or need another trade
- Recommended next steps, such as insulation, ventilation or duct work
What is not part of weatherization & air sealing package
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Any job where labor and materials together reach $1,000 or more is done by a licensed contractor. A large package or one that adds insulation or HVAC work may reach that, and then the licensed trade takes over.
- Installing or replacing attic or wall insulation. That is a separate insulation service.
- Replacing windows, doors or ductwork, and HVAC repair or replacement.
- Mold remediation, rot repair and moisture correction found in crawlspaces or attics.
- Electrical work at recessed lights or wiring, which is licensed electrician work.
- Guarantees of lower bills or a specific leakage reading.

Before you book weatherization & air sealing package
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Map your drafts before the visit
On a windy day, note rooms with cold spots, drafts at outlets and doors and floors that feel cold. Those notes help the pro start where it matters.
Clear access to attic and crawlspace
Move stored items away from the attic hatch, the rim joist and the crawlspace door. Clear access shortens the visit and lets the pro seal what they find.
Tell the pro about fuel appliances
Gas furnaces, water heaters, wood stoves and fireplaces need a safety check after sealing. Mention what you have so the test is planned.
Photograph problem areas
Pictures of frost, stains, gaps at doors or an old attic hatch show the pro what to prioritize before arriving.
Ask whether an audit comes first
Find out if a blower door test is included, and if a full energy audit is a separate step. An audit can set priorities for sealing, insulation and equipment.
Ask for a before and after reading
A pair of test numbers is the best proof the work did something. Ask the pro how the results will be shown, and what they will tell you if the number barely changes.
