How Does it Work?
So what exactly does the Aeroseal sealing process consist of? First step is all the room, ceiling or floor registers are replaced with foam plugs. Also foam is placed into your air conditioning system so that the sealing particles stay out of the equipment. Once everything is sealed, the exclusive Aeroseal duct sealing system injects adhesive particles into the air. The particles travel through the duct system seeking holes and cracks and attach themselves directly on them. Once the sealing is complete, results will be provided to the customer, an example of the results is in the image above. The Aeroseal sealing system results are guaranteed for 10 years in residential homes.
How exactly does Aeroseal sealing help your home’s heating and cooling? As mentioned before, having an Aeroseal sealing put into your duct system can save you money and improve your home. Well here are some great examples of why you need it:
- Nearly 50% of the average home’s and commercial building energy bill is spent on heating air conditioning and ventilation. Duct leakage in residential homes costs consumers $25 billion each year and costs much more to the commercial building operators / owners.
- On average, 30 cents of every $1 you spend on heating and cooling your home or building disappears into thin air due to leak ducts
- Excess humidity levels that can lead to costly home repairs and forcing your system to work harder and wear out sooner, costing you yet more money
- Leaky ducts pull mold, dust and other pollutants into your home, presenting indoor air quality issues and creating and/or aggravating allergy problems
- Leaky ducts contribute to safety issue in residential homes relating to backdrafting of gas appliance fumes, auto exhaust and radon gas into your living space
