How Aeroseal Duct Sealing Becomes Your Home’s Comfort Guardian
Leaky ducts are one of the biggest reasons for poor HVAC performance. If your system is struggling to keep your home comfortable or your energy bills keep climbing, your ductwork could be to blame. This is where Aeroseal comes in. By sealing leaks from the inside, Aeroseal improves airflow, reduces wasted energy, and helps your HVAC system work the way it should. Let’s break down how it works and why it makes such a big difference.
Why Duct Leaks Hurt HVAC Performance
Your HVAC system pushes heated or cooled air through ducts to reach every room in your home. When there are leaks in those ducts, air escapes before it gets to where it’s needed. This forces your system to run longer and work harder, leading to higher energy costs and uneven temperatures.
Signs of leaky ducts include:
- Uneven heating or cooling across different rooms.
- Higher-than-usual energy bills.
- Weak airflow from vents.
- Excessive dust buildup.
- AC or furnace running longer than it should.
If any of these sound familiar, your ducts might need sealing.
How Aeroseal Duct Sealing Works
Aeroseal is a duct-sealing technology that finds and seals leaks from the inside. Unlike traditional methods that require manually sealing joints and connections, Aeroseal works by injecting a specialized sealant into the ductwork.
Here’s how the process works:
Duct System Assessment
We start by inspecting the duct system to locate leaks and measure airflow loss.
Temporary Blocking of Vents
We seal off vents and registers so the Aeroseal solution stays within the ducts.
Applying the Aeroseal Sealant
The Aeroseal machine injects a fine mist of polymer particles into the ductwork. These particles travel through the ducts, sticking to the edges of leaks and slowly building up a tight seal.
Real-Time Monitoring
As the process continues, we track the reduction of leaks in real-time, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
Final Testing and Report
Once the sealing process is complete, we run final tests to confirm improved airflow and provide a report showing the before-and-after results. The whole process usually takes a few hours, and once it’s done, your duct system will be far more efficient.
How Aeroseal Duct Sealing Improves HVAC Efficiency
1. Stops Energy Waste
Leaky ducts can waste up to 30% of the air your HVAC system produces. Aeroseal stops that loss, so more conditioned air reaches your living spaces instead of escaping into walls, attics, or crawl spaces.
2. Improves Airflow
If some rooms in your home don’t get enough airflow, Aeroseal can help balance your system by sealing leaks that disrupt proper circulation.
3. Lowers Energy Bills
When your HVAC system doesn’t have to compensate for lost air, it runs more efficiently. That means lower energy consumption and reduced utility costs.
4. Helps Your System Last Longer
An HVAC system that doesn’t have to overwork itself will experience less wear and tear. Sealing your ducts with Aeroseal can extend the lifespan of your heating and cooling equipment.
5. Improves Indoor Air Quality
Leaks in ductwork can pull in dust, allergens, and other pollutants from attics, basements, or crawl spaces. Aeroseal helps create a cleaner indoor environment by preventing these contaminants from entering your home’s air supply.

FAQs About Aeroseal
How long does Aeroseal Duct Sealing last?
Aeroseal’s sealant lasts for over 10 years and often much longer, making it a long-term solution for duct leaks.
Will Aeroseal affect my indoor air quality?
Yes, in a good way. Sealing leaks prevents dust, allergens, and pollutants from entering your duct system, improving the quality of the air you breathe.
Can I still clean my ducts after Aeroseal?
Yes, professional duct cleaning can still be performed without affecting the Aeroseal sealant.
Will I notice an immediate difference after Aeroseal?
Most homeowners notice improved comfort and better airflow right away, along with lower energy bills over time.
Does Aeroseal Duct Sealing have a smell?
There may be a mild odor during the application process, but it dissipates quickly once the system is running again.
