Innovative Duct Sealing Technology

Why It’s Important to Seal Air Return Ducts

Most people assume that furnace filters are enough to collect the average amount of dust being circulated inside their home, but a leaky return will cause you to replace filters at a faster rate and, if left in too long, can put strain on your system. An unsealed air return duct system not only sucks in dirt, dust, allergens, smelly odors, and other pollutants from attics, crawlspaces, and interior walls, but it also brings in humidity from those very same spaces. The introduction of humidity into the ductwork causes comfort issues, and can also lead to mold growth. Sealing your return ducts eliminates the threat of moisture and mold as well as blocks out all those pollutants from being introduced into your home and being recycled over and over again every day.

Take Control of Dust with Aeroseal

Sealing your ductwork with Aeroseal increases your home’s indoor air quality, helping to eliminate dust, allergens, and odors coming inside from unconditioned spaces.

Blocks Dust & Allergens to Create a Cleaner Environment
Sealed air returns stop gross dust, dirt, allergens, and other air pollutants from being introduced into your system and then blasted all over your house.

Provides Healthier Airflow Throughout Your Home
In addition to greater airflow coming out of your vents, sealing your ducts blocks out all the filthy dust, dirt, and allergens, providing the fresh air that you expect and putting your mind at ease.

Control Humidity Issues and Avoid Mold Growth
Sealing your air returns will block humid and unconditioned air from entering the system and eliminate the threat of mold growth inside your ducts.

Leaky Ducts Lead to Decreased System Performance

And poor system performance leads to higher energy bills.

Get the Efficiency You Paid For
Sealing your ducts is the best way to achieve maximum efficiency from your equipment.

Sealing and insulating your ducts increases system efficiency, lowers your energy bills, and can often pay for itself in energy savings. Plus, if you’re planning to install new heating and cooling equipment, a well-designed and sealed duct system may allow you to downsize to a smaller, less costly heating and cooling system that will provide better dehumidification.

“Typical duct systems lose 25%-40% of the heating and cooling energy put out by the central furnace, heat pump or air conditioner. Duct repairs could be the most important energy improvement measure you can do.”

3 Steps of the Aeroseal Process

Step 1 - Prep & Test

Prepare System/Blocking
Registers are temporarily blocked with foam plugs to force air in the duct work to escape through any leaks. Then the air conditioning indoor coil, fan, and furnace are also temporarily blocked with a foam plug to prevent sealant particles from entering this part of the HVAC system.

Connect System to Ductwork
Once the system is properly prepped, the Aeroseal machine is connected to the duct work using lay flat tubing. A small access hole (which will be closed upon project completion) is cut into the supply or return, and a temporary collar is attached. One end of the tubing connects to the collar; the other end connects to the Aeroseal machine.

Pretest Ductwork
The Aeroseal system runs a pretest that pressurizes the duct system and provides a leakage reading on the computer. It will detect the exact amount of duct leakage in the duct system (the typical duct leakage detected in a home is between 25-40%).

Step 3 - Enjoy Comfort & Energy Savings

Certificate of Completion
Upon completion, the homeowner is presented with verifiable proof of the seal in the form of a computer-generated certificate, which includes before and after results of the Aeroseal application.

The Results Are Instant
Once the entire project is complete, homeowners will notice the results immediately. Temperatures throughout the home should be more even, hot and cold spots should be reduced and the HVAC system will run more efficiently, which will help to save money on utility bills. Homeowners will also notice improved indoor air quality. There should be less dust, fewer allergens and cleaner air.

Step 2 - Seal & Measure

Leaky Ducts Are Found
The patented aerosol sealant is injected as a mist into the ductwork. Holes and cracks in the duct system are found by the pressurization.

Sealant Seals the Ductwork
The aerosol particles collect on the edges of holes and cracks in the ductwork to seal them from the inside. Our sealant has been thoroughly tested to ensure it is non-toxic, low in VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), and safe for indoor use. Learn more.

Monitor Process
This entire process is computer controlled so technicians can monitor the progress in real-time and watch the minute by minute reduction in leakage.

Spend Less. Save More.

Did you know you could be wasting as much as 40% of your home’s energy?

Cringe every time you see your energy bill? With Aeroseal, you can put that hard-earned money back in your pocket.

The U.S. Department of Energy reports the typical home may lose from 25% to 40% of its conditioned air due to leaky ducts. As a result, your furnace or AC unit works harder and longer, consumes much more energy, and wears out sooner.

For you, this means sky-high utility bills and a shortened system life. The good news is, our simple and easy solution can save you money by saving you energy.

Sealing your leaky ducts will result in:

Reduced energy consumption
Lower energy bills
Increased system performance
Longer system life

Save Up to 30% on Your Energy Bills
This is a huge deal! A benefit you can truly see and feel in your wallet. You can realize an annual savings of up to $850 per year on your heating and cooling bills.

Increase Your HVAC Efficiency
Sealing your ducts allows the maximum amount of air to be delivered to the rooms throughout your home as it should. This allows the home to reach your desired temperature much faster, making it much more efficient.

Get A Better Performing System
Aerosealing your ducts will help get the most out of your system which equals more air from your vents providing greater home comfort and a longer system life.
