How Aeroseal Technology Reduces Energy Waste in Your Home

The Problem with Leaky Ducts

Your home’s ductwork is responsible for distributing conditioned air throughout your living spaces. However, leaks in the duct system can lead to significant energy loss. Here are some of the common issues caused by leaky ducts:

  • Energy Loss: Up to 30% of the air moving through ducts can be lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts.

  • Uneven Heating and Cooling: Leaks reduce airflow, causing some rooms to feel too hot or too cold.

  • Higher Utility Bills: Your HVAC system works harder to compensate for lost air, increasing energy consumption.

  • Poor Indoor Air Quality: Leaks can draw in dust, allergens, and pollutants from unconditioned spaces like attics and crawlspaces.

What Is Aeroseal Technology?

Aeroseal is an innovative duct sealing technology that identifies and seals leaks from the inside out. Unlike traditional methods, which often involve manually sealing duct joints, Aeroseal uses a computer-controlled process to locate and seal even the smallest leaks. Here’s how it works:

  1. Preparation: The ductwork is pressurized, and all registers and vents are temporarily blocked.

  2. Leak Detection: Aeroseal software calculates the total amount of air escaping through leaks.

  3. Sealing Process: A non-toxic, water-based adhesive is blown into the ducts. The adhesive particles cling to the edges of leaks, gradually sealing them.

  4. Verification: After sealing, the software provides a report showing the reduction in leakage, typically up to 95%.

Benefits of Aeroseal Technology

  1. Improved Energy Efficiency By sealing leaks, Aeroseal ensures that conditioned air reaches its intended destination, reducing energy waste and lowering utility bills.

  2. Enhanced Comfort Say goodbye to inconsistent temperatures. Sealed ducts deliver even airflow, ensuring every room in your home stays comfortable.

  3. Better Indoor Air Quality Sealing leaks prevents contaminants from entering your duct system, resulting in cleaner, healthier air.

  4. Extended HVAC Lifespan A more efficient duct system reduces strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially extending its lifespan and minimizing the need for repairs.

  5. Fast and Effective Aeroseal is a quick process that delivers immediate results. Most jobs can be completed in a single day.

How Aeroseal Complements Other Energy-Efficient Solutions

Aeroseal isn’t a standalone solution; it works in tandem with other energy-efficient upgrades, such as:

  • Insulation: Properly insulated homes retain conditioned air more effectively, and sealed ducts ensure that air isn’t lost during distribution.

  • Air Sealing: Addressing leaks in the building envelope further enhances energy savings.

  • HVAC Maintenance: A well-maintained system operates more efficiently when paired with sealed ductwork.
