Here’s how it works:

  1. Preparation – The duct system is temporarily blocked off and pressurized.
  2. Injection – The Aeroseal machine blows microscopic sealant particles into the ducts.
  3. Sealing – The particles are carried by airflow toward any leaks, where they accumulate and seal the gaps (up to 5/8″ wide).
  4. Verification – A computer measures leakage before, during, and after sealing to provide a printed report showing the improvement.

Benefits of Aeroseal

  • Energy Savings: Sealing leaks prevents conditioned air from escaping, which can lower heating and cooling costs by up to 30%.
  • Improved Comfort: Rooms maintain more consistent temperatures with better airflow.
  • Healthier Air: Seals leaks that let dust, allergens, and pollutants into the ducts.
  • Safety: Reduces the risk of “backdrafting” (where combustion gases from appliances are drawn back into the home).
  • Verified Results: You get a before-and-after leakage report.

It’s widely used in both residential homes and commercial buildings to boost HVAC performance and indoor air quality.
