about aeroseal

Can you fix my hot and cold rooms?

You bet! When we seal your vents and ducts, we make sure that air goes where it's supposed to—no more wasting it in places like your unused basement or attic. Say goodbye to those annoying hot and cold spots in your house!

​

Will this help my house be less dusty?

 

Absolutely! Leaky ducts and vents are like magnets for dust, mold, and pet dander, which then get blown into every nook and cranny of your home. Yuck, right? Our system can cut those leaky areas by up to 90%, keeping your home cleaner and healthier.

​

How much can I save on my utility bill?

A bunch! Studies show that sealing your ducts can shave up to $850 off your yearly bill. Most folks see savings of around 20%, but some lucky ducks save as much as 40%! The exact amount you save depends on a bunch of factors, like where you live and how old your house is.

​

What does your initial inspection really tell me?

During our visit, we'll snoop around your home to find any obvious leaks in your heating and air system. We'll also figure out how much of your comfy air is escaping into places like your attic or garage. It's like giving your home a health checkup!

​

Is your formula really safe for my family and my pets?

​

Totally! Our formula is super safe—it's made from organic stuff that's water-soluble. Hospitals and schools trust it to keep their air clean and healthy, so you can trust it in your home too.

​

Does your sealant emit any harmful fumes?

Nope! Our formula has been tested and found to have really low levels of VOCs (those are the chemicals that can stink up the joint). Plus, any odor it does have fades away pretty quickly.

​

How big of a leak can your sealant cover?

Our sealant can handle most leaks, but if they're bigger than about 5/8 inches in diameter, we might need to fix 'em up first. Don't worry, we'll catch any major problems during our initial inspection.

​

What if there is excess sealant? Where does it go?

Any extra sealant just hangs out in the spots where your air was leaking before—like your attic or garage. It's harmless and dries up on its own. Plus, we make sure none of it escapes into your living areas.

​

Will your formula do any damage to my air conditioner, furnace, or personal electronics?

​

No way! Our techs know how to protect all your stuff before we start sealing. We even use a temporary access point to deliver the sealant, so your gear stays safe and sound.

​

How long does it take for the sealant to totally dry?

Usually about two hours, depending on how much duct work you have and how many leaks need fixing.

​

How long does Aeroseal last?

​

We guarantee our work for at least 10 years, but we've tested it to last up to 40 years in homes. Your heating and cooling systems should stay efficient for as long as you own your home.

​

Do I need to have my ductwork cleaned first?

​

Sometimes, but not always. If your ducts are super dirty, we might recommend a cleaning first. We'll check 'em out during our initial inspection and let you know.

​

If I have my ducts sealed, can they be cleaned in the future?

 

Absolutely! Our formula won't mess up your ducts, so they can still be cleaned whenever you want.

​

Will all the insides of my ductwork be coated with sealant?

Nope! Our formula only seals up the leaks—it won't coat the insides of your ducts at all.

​

Sometimes my air conditioner/furnace rattles or hums. Will this help reduce that noise?

Not really. Those noises usually mean there's a different problem, like your ductwork being too small or air flow being restricted. We can help you figure out what's causing the racket, though!

​

Will duct sealing help reduce condensation on my crawl space ducts?

It might help a bit, but fixing condensation issues usually involves other fixes too, like adding insulation or sealing your crawl space.

​

I’m getting water in my in-slab ductwork when it rains. Will Aeroseal fix this problem?

Sorry, but no. Water in your ducts is a sign of bigger problems with your home's drainage, so sealing your ducts won't solve it. You'll want to get a contractor to check out your drainage situation first.
