About Aeroseal

It's plain and simple: aeroseal duct sealing is typically the single most effective thing a Connecticut-area homeowner can do to save energy and increase the indoor comfort of their home. The U.S. Department of Energy, the EPA, local utility companies and others all agree that most residential duct systems leak - a lot. And these leaks rob your home of the heated and cooled air that you pay so much to get. As a result, your monthly energy bills are high and you still have rooms that don't get enough heat in the wintertime or cooled air in the summer. 

Traditional duct sealing methods such as using tape or mastic to cover the leaks can help, but most ductwork is hidden behind walls, in tight attic spaces, under insulation or other hard to access locations. So, for years, homeowners just had to suffer with the issues caused by leaky ductwork. 

To solve this problem, the U.S. Department of Energy funded research to find an easy, cost-effective way to effectively seal ducts. The result was aeroseal technology - a computerized duct sealing system that works from the inside of the ducts to seal leaks.

Here's how it works...

It starts with a phone call to the aeroseal experts at Central Air. They will come to your home and inspect your ductwork. They can even pretest your system and show you exactly how much leakage you have and approximate how much you will save by aerosealing your ducts. 

Once they get the green light to proceed, they attach a long flexible tube from their aeroseal equipment to a temporary hole cut into the ductwork. A mist of microscopic particles of sealant is than blown into the interior of the duct system. 

The sealant doesn't coat the entire interior of the ductwork but instead, stays suspended in air until it comes in contact with a leak. Here it clings to the edge of the leak and then to other sealant particles until the entire leak is sealed (see video). 

The effects of the aeroseal process can be viewed on a computer monitor. You can actually watch a graph showing the current leakage rate plummet further and further as the leaks are being sealed. At the end of the process, you get a computer-generated report that shows the before and after results.

More importantly, you'll feel the results. Don't be surprised by the amount of air you feel coming out of your vents - or how much less your furnace and air conditioner need to work to keep your home comfortable.

Does anyone in your family suffer from indoor allergies? Do you find you need to dust more often than should be necessary? Aerosealing your ductwork can be the answer here as well. Leaks in the ductwork can suck in air from behind wall cavities, storage spaces, and other locations where the air quality is less than optimal. Once in the ductwork, the contaminants are then spread throughout the entire house. By sealing all the leaks - even those hidden from view - you can stop the spread of contaminants that affect your family's health.
