Keeping your HVAC performing efficiently can save you a lot of money while keeping your home comfortable. One thing that can hamper your HVAC system is leaky air ducts. Leaks in your air ducts can waste energy, reduce indoor air quality, and cause uneven temperatures throughout your home. Fortunately, we have innovative technology that can help: Aeroseal.
Understanding the Impact of Air Duct Leaks
Air duct leaks can cause several problems. Here are some of the most significant ones:
- Energy loss. When your ducts leak, air escapes into attics, basements, crawlspaces, and even outside. This means your system has to heat or cool more air to replace it, resulting in energy wastage that is bad for you and the environment. What’s more, air duct leaks can also shorten your HVAC system’s life.
- Reduced comfort. Air duct leaks can result in some rooms in your home being too hot or too cold. You may then end up spot-heating or cooling rooms unnecessarily to even things out. You may also have trouble properly controlling the temperature in bedrooms which can impact your sleep.
- Increased utility bills. Because your system is using more energy, your utility bills will be higher, especially in cold winters or warm summers. An increase in utility bills is often a sign something is going on with your HVAC system. This also wastes money you could be spending on other things.
- Poor indoor air quality. Leaky ducts go both ways. They can pull in allergens from outside, dust from your unconditioned attic, and pollutants. This contaminates your indoor air and increases allergy and asthma symptoms, impacting the health and well-being of your family and pets.
Leaky air ducts also cause all kinds of problems, and if your utility bills are creeping up, it’s worth checking your ducts.
Benefits of Aeroseal Technology
Aeroseal is a proprietary, state-of-the-art technology designed to quickly and thoroughly seal your ducts by distributing a non-toxic, water-based formula through your HVAC system’s air ducts. This formula seals all the holes, including small ones an inspection might miss.
It also has many benefits, including:
- Comprehensive sealing. Traditional methods address only visible leaks that the inspectors can find. This is better than nothing, but Aeroseal travels through your entire duct system, including the bits you can’t get to, to find and seal all the holes.
- Energy efficiency. It also helps your AC system operate more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint. It does so without any expensive system upgrades and with any HVAC system.
- Improved comfort. The system thoroughly optimizes airflow through your ducts. No more hot and cold spots! Conditioned air is distributed, improving your comfort and allowing for better temperature control.
- Enhanced indoor air quality. External pollutants and dust from attics and crawlspaces are kept firmly out, maintaining cleaner indoor air and reducing respiratory issues and allergies.
- Quick and non-invasive. Aeroseal takes only a few hours and doesn’t require extensive modifications to your ductwork. You can get it done with no disruption to your activities. You may not even have to move furniture!
- Long-lasting results. Aeroseal also lasts for years without degrading or deteriorating. You won’t need to have anyone back to repeat the treatment for a long time!
