Air Duct Sealing: Seal Leaky Air Ducts & Save Hundreds
August 24, 2023
When it comes to energy efficiency and saving money, most homeowners think upgrading their current HVAC system will take care of everything. However, when upgrading to a high efficiency furnace or air conditioner, it is important to make sure your entire duct system is in proper working condition. Leaks in your ductwork can negate the thousands you spend on a new high performance system and lead to higher costs on your energy bills. These leaky air ducts cause your system to work much harder and allow your precious conditioned air to escape. According to the US Department of Energy, “Typical duct systems lose 25 to 40 percent of the heating or cooling energy put out by the central furnace, heat pump or air conditioner. Duct repairs could be the most important energy improvement measure you can do.” So, as a homeowner, how can this be prevented?

That means no intrusive repair work or having to access the entirety of your duct system from the outside. Click the link below to learn more about how the Aeroseal process works.
