The company is excited to share with the community their featured product: Aeroseal. Aeroseal is a revolutionary ductsealing technology that helps evens out hot and cold air distribution throughout a house while balancing temperatures.

energy savings, which is vital during peak heat season, especially since leaks in your air ducts can result in a 20-30% loss of conditioned air (yikes!).

Have you ever thought about how that conditioner air gets into your house? It’s all through your ductwork, but since the air is invisible, you might not even know you have a problem. Think about it like this: If you have a 50-foot water hose rife with holes, and you turn it on, you won’t have good water pressure coming out of the nozzle — but you’re still paying for that water. Same issue with leaky ductwork as it can cause higher power bills since your system has to run continuously as well as hot and cold spots in your house due to uneven temperatures.

The Aeroseal process is simple, beginning with an inspection of your HVAC by highly trained technicians who commit to additional weeks of training to make sure that the product is right for your system. Then comes the scheduling, pressurizing your system, creating a temporary hole to connect the Aeroseal system to your ducts, the sealing process, and lastly, testing the system to ensure that all leaks are sealed and that your system is returned to normal. The process typically takes anywhere from 60 minutes to a couple of hours. Aeroseal is guaranteed for 10 years in residential applications, but has an expected life of 40 years based on testing. No better bang for your buck than sealing your HVAC system, providing up to a 95% duct leakage reduction in your home, and having it last for decades!
