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.

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.

3 Easy Steps to th Home You Deserve

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.”
