Aeroseal Duct Sealing

Most duct systems are not airtight. Over time, holes and cracks add to places where the air can escape from this system. This releases your hot or cold air in places where you can’t use it. It results in uneven temperatures throughout your home, as well as higher energy costs because you have to run your heater and air conditioner more to pump hot or cold air into your home. Duct sealing can attack this problem head-on.

Aeroseal is a simple and effective method for sealing your ducts. We can get in, do your Aeroseal, and get out quickly. The process includes:

• We will come in and pressurize your system. This includes sealing off your vents and registers.
• We’ll test your system to find out how much air you’re losing to duct leakage.
• We’ll pump our patented technology into your system. Aeroseal is a sticky polymer. It binds first the edges of the holes in your ducts. Then it binds to itself until it seals the gap completely. There’s no extra sealant either. Our duct sealing is so precise that we only use as much as we need to solve your leakage issues.
• Let your sealant dry. It usually takes Aeroseal about 2 hours to dry. During this time, we ask that you don’t use your heating or cooling systems.
• We will test your home again. This should show that your duct leakage has gone down drastically.
• You save on energy costs and stay more comfortable at home. Most of the time, people save at least 20% on their costs, though some save as much as 40%.

Save Energy

When your ducts aren’t leaking hot and cold air, it won’t take as much energy to heat your home. When all of that heated or cooled air makes its way into your house, you’ll reach your desired temperature faster. Then your system can turn off and stop using so much energy. Duct sealing can save you up to 20% of your yearly energy usage.

Save Money

When you aren’t using as much energy, you won’t spend as much on energy costs. In addition, when your heater and AC aren’t working as long or as hard to keep you comfortable, you may not have to replace them as often.

Improve Your Comfort

If you have certain rooms that are always too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, even when the rest of the house is comfortable, duct sealing can increase your comfort by allowing more air to get to these areas!

Raise Your Air Quality

Holes and cracks in your ducts can allow allergens and other particles to enter your heating and AC systems. These then get blown all around your home whenever the systems are on. Duct sealing keeps these particulates out so the air you breathe will be cleaner than ever.

Stay Safe at Home

Gas appliances, like a water heater or a furnace, leak carbon monoxide and other airborne chemicals as part of their regular functioning. If you have holes in your ducts, this can get into them and get blown into all the rooms in your house. Sealing your ducts keeps these potentially harmful chemicals out of your living spaces.

In addition to lowering your bills, duct sealing can help give you cleaner air at home. If you struggle with allergies or asthma, this process may help you breathe better, too.

How do I test for duct leakage?

If you suspect duct leakage because of suddenly high utility bills, uneven heating and cooling in your home, or any other reason, you can perform your own test to see if there might be a leak in your ducts. Seal off the vents and registers, apart from one, then use an incense candle or use a smoke pencil and hold it near the opening, seeing if the smoke is being sucked into the duct. Hold the candle or smoke stick around other parts of the ductwork, particularly the joints and seams, to see if the smoke is being drawn into those areas as well.
