The Hidden Energy Drain Inside Your Home – LEAKY AIR DUCTS
Your home’s air duct system may be blowing money out of your pocket and into the trash can.
With more than 80 million affected homes in the U.S. alone, the EPA estimates that almost $25 billion per year is wasted in lost energy. On average, 30 cents of every $1 spent on your heating and cooling never makes it to your living spaces because of cracks and leaks in your air ducts. That’s money that is literally leaking out of your wallet.
The U.S. Department of Energy has stated that 95% of older homes have leaky air ducts. It’s highly likely that YOUR home’s air duct system is leaky and costing you more money in energy every month than you should be paying. Think about it. The air ducts ran through your home are joined together, metal-on-metal and most often, not sealed with tape or mastic. There’s going to be be air escaping from the cracks and holes along your ductwork from these connections and fittings leading up to your registers on the floor, wall, and ceiling. Research completed by the DOE found that 20% to 30% of heated and cooled air, that you pay for, never reaches it’s inteded destination within your home and is lost in your attic, crawlspace, or in-between the walls of the house.
That 20-30% a month could add up to some serious savings! Most homeowners are quick to conclude that they need to upgrade their home’s HVAC system to help fix their high energy bills, when in fact, in most cases, the root cause is leaky ductwork. If a new system is required, make sure to talk with your HVAC contractor to see if your ductwork needs to be sealed in order to maximize the new unit’s full efficiency.

Top 3 Homeowner Complaints Caused By Duct Leakage
Hot/Cold Spots in Homes
Many homeowners struggle with uneven temperatures throughout the house. Some rooms are too hot and stuffy, while others are too cold and damp. It doesn’t have to be that way! This is caused by cracks and leaks in your air ducts, so hot or cool air isn’t getting to ever room evenly and you are left with ‘Dead Zones” that make your home less comfortable.
Dust/Allergies in Homes
According to EneryStar, fumes from household and garden chemicals, insulation particles, and dust can enter your duct system, aggravating asthma and allergy problems. Sealing ducts can help improve indoor air quality by reducing the risk of pollutants entering ducts and circulating through your home.
High Utility Bills
It’s easy to overlook ductwork in your home as a reason for your high utility bills. Most homeowners assume that they need a new furnace or A/C unit that is more efficient when in fact, a leaky air duct system is usually the primary factor involved with high energy bills, shortened system life, and poor system efficiencies.
How We Help
We have developed an innovative technology that quickly and efficiently seals the cracks and holes in your air vent system from the inside, making your home healthier, safer and more comfortable, enhancing the performance of your air conditioning and heating system while improving the environment and saving you money at the same time.
Indoor Air Quality
Aeroseal is a proven technology that measurably improves the air we breathe, reducing allergens, dust and other contaminants that can cause health problems. That’s why hundreds of hospitals and schools use Aeroseal to stop the spread of germs and improve air quality.
Eco-Friendly Home
By reducing wasted energy and improving the longevity of your heating and cooling system, Aeroseal is also good for the environment. It is one of the few things you can do to protect the environment, improve your living conditions and save money – all at the same time.
Home Comfort
Aeroseal also improves comfort in your home immediately, removing dead zones, evening out temperatures in every room and balancing air flow and humidity, so you can truly get the most out of your furnace, air conditioner and any smart thermostat and climate control technology.
Energy Savings
That’s because Aeroseal can deliver real cost savings right away. On average, home owners enjoy a 30% rate of return on their investment in Aeroseal. And since Aeroseal has been tested and proven to last decades, that means your lower utility bills that come from using Aeroseal will more than pay for itself quickly and for years to come.
How It Works
Our innovative technology identifies and precisely targets the cracks and leaks in your air vent system that you can’t see and often can’t reach, making it the best solution for your home, your family and the environment.
The magic happens with the combination of our smart technology and our simple and safe sealing formula. Our computer-enabled smart technology evaluates the exact amount of leakage in the system and targets all of the cracks and leaks – even the ones you can’t see and can’t reach – so they can be filled with precision.
The sealing formula itself is safe, non-toxic and made of the same material that is found in chewing gum and (baby pacifiers). Equally importantly, our process is so precise that it only uses the amount of sealant that is necessary, with virtually no waste.
Aeroseal doesn’t coat your whole air vent system, it focuses on just the cracks and leaks and fills them.
Our non-invasive process takes only a few hours, with minimal disruption and clean-up needed.
But don’t let the efficiency fool you; Aeroseal is durable and proven to last for decades, with a formal certification when the work is complete.

3 Easy Steps to th Home You Deserve
Step 1
We begin with a comprehensive test
First, we block all your vents and registers to pressurize your system. This pressurization allows our technology to find all the cracks and holes where air is leaking.
Next, we hook up the Aeroseal technology to conduct a comprehensive test of your air duct system.
We evaluate your pre-seal air duct leakage, measuring the overall size of the cracks and leaks and giving you a before and after report.
Step 2
We seal your leaks with precision
We are then ready to begin distributing our sealant formula throughout your air vent and duct system.
 While sealing, we monitor your system’s performance and show you all the improvements, as they happen.
Our technology is so precise that we only use the amount of sealant necessary with virtually no waste and very little cleanup.

FAQs
Can you fix my hot and cold rooms?
Yes! Sealing your vents and ducts means that air is delivered where it’s needed, and not into your basement, attic or crawl space. This also helps get rid of hot and cold spots in your house.
Will this help my house be less dusty?
Absolutely! Leaky ducts and vents pull in dust, mold and dander and then blow them into living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens. Gross, right? Our system can reduce leaky areas by as much as 90%, making sure dirt isn’t circulated in your house.
How much can I save on my utility bill?
A lot! Independent government-sponsored studies have shown that sealing your ducts can save you up to $850 per year! Most homeowners save at least 20%, some save as much as 40% of their total bill. Exact energy savings are difficult to predict, since they depend on where you live, how old your house is, how up to date your system is, how many rooms you need to heat or cool, and how energy costs are calculated in your area.
Is your formula really safe for my family and my pets?
Without a doubt. Our formula is safe, non-toxic and water-soluble, made of the same material that is found in chewing gum and baby pacifiers. It is so safe, we’ve helped hospitals, surgery centers, schools and public buildings make sure their air is clean, healthy and comfortable – and saved them energy and money in the process.
How big of a leak can your sealant cover?
Aeroseal is able to close most cracks and leaks in most air duct systems. Any large, major leaks – like broken, disconnected or damaged ducts – will need to be repaired prior to sealing. Most of the time, we uncover problems like this during our initial inspection. However, if we find this during our sealing process, we will stop our service and recommend a solution.
How long does this stuff last?
We guarantee our work for at least 10 years, and we’ve stress-tested it up to 40 years in homes. We expect your heating and cooling systems to work efficiently for as long as you own your home.

Do I need to have my ductwork cleaned first?
Sometimes, but not always. Any ducts that are extremely dirty should be cleaned first. We find this most often in older houses. Our technician will take a look at this during the initial inspection, and recommend a cleaning if needed.
If I have my ducts sealed, can they be cleaned in the future?
Yes. Ducts from all types of materials can be successfully cleaned after being sealed. Our formula dries into a very hard, very durable substance.
Will all the insides of my ductwork be coated with sealant?
No. Our formula doesn’t coat or line your ducts. The only sealant remaining after our technician is done will be over the leak that was sealed.
“One of the best scientific technological accomplishments since this department was first established.”

How long will it last?
Guaranteed for 10 yrs. in residential applications. Based on testing, sealant has an expected life of at least 40 years.
Is the sealant safe?
Sealant is Non-Toxic and has been used in hospitals, schools, surgery centers, and government facilities all over the world. The sealant has been tested by an independent lab and found to have extremely low concentration of VOC’s, during sealing time only. The primary component has NO OSHA maximum exposure limit.
What is the sealant material made of?
Primary component is Vinyl Acetate Polymer, used in water based paints, hair spray, and chewing gum.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time is less than 2 hours.
Will my house smell?
There is a mild odor, like Elmer’s Glue, during sealing. Odor should dissipate by next morning (or before).
Should I be in the house?
We prefer no one is in the house during sealing due to impact on productivity. If you are pregnant, senior, or infant, or utilizing medical equipment we do encourage you to leave as a simple safety precaution.
How big of leak will be sealed?
Up to a 5/8” hole can be sealed during normal range of productivity.
What about leaks that are too big?
Broken and disconnected ducts and large leaks need to be fixed prior to sealing. If a hidden large leak is uncovered during sealing, process is stopped and a solution is discussed.
Where does the sealant leaking from the ducts go?
Sealant escaping from the ducts will settle in wall cavities, attics or crawl spaces. During the process, we will filter the air to capture any sealant entering the living areas.
Will it harm electronics?
We recommend sensitive electronics be covered.
What about my HVAC accessories?
Technician is trained to protect all accessories prior to sealing. Some items, such as humidifiers or UV lights, may be removed then reinstalled to prevent damage; others may be bagged or covered.
Do ducts need to be cleaned before sealing?
Extremely dirty ducts should be cleaned. We recommend the technician assess the condition of the ducts prior to sealing.
Can I clean my ducts if they are sealed?
Ducts of all material types can be successfully cleaned after sealing.
Will the ducts be covered with sealant?
The Aeroseal process does not coat or line the ductwork. The only sealant remaining in the ducts will be at the previous leak.
How does it work?
Duct sealing, utilizing the patented Aeroseal process, takes a non-toxic liquid sealant, heats and dries it to become an aerosol mist. The mist travels through a pressurized duct system and seals visible, invisible, and inaccessible leaks in the system. We guarantee it and it is certified.
How do I know if my ducts leak?
According to the Department of Energy, homes leak between 25% and 40%. In simple terms, that means air is not getting to designed spaces causing hot/cold spots in the house, excessive dust, and high energy bills.

Is Your Indoor Air Clean?
IAQ: An Unseen, Critical Issue
IAQ: EVERYWHERE & UNSEEN
The air we breathe indoors, and the HVAC systems providing it, aren’t something we see or really think about. But indoor air quality (IAQ) has a direct impact on the health and well-being of a building’s occupants. Poor IAQ can result in:
Sick Building
Syndrome
Reduced Productivity
Spreading Pathogens
Impaired Learning
What Is Your Indoor Age?
90%
of our time is spent indoors
Research shows that we spend 90% of our time indoors, so your indoor age is 90% of your actual age. It shows how many years you’ve already spent indoors.*
Multiply your age by 0.9 to see how many years you’ve already spent indoors!
The Average Person Will Spend 66 Years Indoors
73YRS
is the average human lifespan***
We can’t see IAQ. But, if we spend most of our time indoors, making sure the air we breathe is clean and healthy should be an obvious imperative.**
In fact, based on the average lifespan (73 years), we know the average person will spend 66 years of their life indoors.
If you consider the fact that we spend most of our time indoors, the need for good IAQ becomes an obvious imperative
