Leaky ductwork often means that some rooms, or entire floors of your home, will
be uncomfortable. The leaks in duct work may allow air to escape your ductwork
before it reaches the target location causing some rooms to be warmer and others
cooler than other rooms in the house.
Leaks in your ductwork force your heating/cooling system to run longer, and
harder, to provide adequate conditioned air to rooms in your home. If a system is
running longer, and more frequently than needs be you are going to be paying higher
utility bills than need be.
Some home owners that have had their duct systems sealed with Aeroseal have saved up to
40% on their utility bill.
Leaks in your ductwork can cause a "whistling" noise that can be heard in your
home. Sealing your ductwork can minimize this effect.
Air ducts run through crawlspaces, attics, walls, garages, and basements. Leaks
in your ductwork running through these areas can not only expend air into these
spaces but it can also allow this air in to your ductwork as well. Causing your
conditioned air to become polluted with dust, insulation, and other pollutants.
Aeroseal can reduce your duct leakage by as much as 90%, reducing the amount of dust
and other indoor pollutants found in your conditioned air.
Gas appliances (water heaters, clothes dryers, and furnaces) release combustion
gases such as carbon monoxide through ventilation systems while in operation. Leaks
in your ductwork can possibly cause these gases to be drawn back into the living
space, or backdrafting. Sealing the leaks in duct work can minimize this rsk.
