As a seasoned professional in the field of air duct sealing, I am well aware of the doubts and hesitations that come with investing in a service like Aeroseal. It's only natural to question its longevity and effectiveness, especially when it comes with a hefty price tag. However, I am here to assure you that Aeroseal is a reliable and long-lasting solution for all your duct sealing needs. Multiple strength tests have been conducted on Aeroseal, and the results have proven its durability for up to 40 years. In fact, manufacturers offer a 10-year warranty for this product, providing homeowners with peace of mind and confidence in their investment.
Moreover, as certified Aeroseal technicians, we are trained to execute a program created by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) called “Duct Investor”. This program takes into account various variables and provides homeowners with an accurate estimate of the savings they can expect from the sealing process. One of the major advantages of Aeroseal is its ability to seal inaccessible ducts. For homes with ducts that are difficult to reach, Aeroseal is a better option compared to manual duct sealing. Energy auditors typically only seal visible and accessible joints, which may not address all the leaks in your duct system.
In such cases, Aeroseal is the most effective solution as it can seal even the smallest cracks and holes. It's important to note that duct size is often the root cause of comfort issues in homes. In these cases, manual duct sealing may not improve your comfort levels. However, Aeroseal can still be beneficial as it can reduce energy consumption and improve overall efficiency. The dry sealant material used in Aeroseal primarily contains two chemicals - vinyl acetate polymer (VAP) and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2E1H). These chemicals are safe and non-toxic, making Aeroseal a safe option for your home.
In addition, the sealing process can also help prevent dust and other particles from entering your duct system through cracks and holes. Leaky ducts can significantly impact the efficiency of your HVAC system. When air leaks out of your ducts, your HVAC system has to work harder to maintain the desired temperature, resulting in a 20 to 45 percent decrease in efficiency. To determine the extent of leaks in your duct system, our Aeroseal technicians regularly perform a test by analyzing a sample of the duct sections. Aeroseal has been tested under extreme temperatures and pressures, and it has been found to withstand up to 100,000 cycles. This makes it a durable and reliable solution for your duct sealing needs.
In terms of cost, the simple payback time for Aeroseal typically ranges from 1 to 4 years, with a return on investment ranging from 30 to 70%. This does not even take into account the non-energy benefits of Aeroseal, such as improved air quality and reduced dust in your home. Before sealing your ducts, our certified Aeroseal technician will advise you if they need to be cleaned. The sealing process involves pressurizing the duct system with a mist of sealant particles that are the perfect size to remain suspended in the air until they reach the exit point of the duct system. According to the U. S.
Department of Energy, air duct repair is one of the most effective ways to improve energy consumption in homes. By sealing your ducts with Aeroseal, you can significantly reduce your energy bills and improve the overall efficiency of your HVAC system. In conclusion, Aeroseal is a reliable and long-lasting solution for all your duct sealing needs. With its ability to seal inaccessible ducts, improve comfort levels, and reduce energy consumption, it is a worthwhile investment for any homeowner. And with a 10-year warranty from manufacturers, you can have peace of mind knowing that your investment is protected.
