what is aEROSEAL?
Aeroseal is a patented breakthrough technology that tackles duct leaks from the inside out. The Aeroseal process puts escaping air under pressure and causes polymer particles to stick first to the edges of a leak, then to each other until the leak is completely sealed. Aeroseal is the best duct sealing solution available.

what are the benefits of aeroseal?
increased comfort
The #1 reason home owners want Aeroseal Home Duct Sealing is because they experience hot and cold rooms or high temp differences between upstairs vs downstairs living areas. The majority of homes we see suffer from these issues due to leaky duct work not delivering conditioned air where it is meant to go! Our simple process seals leaky ductwork from the inside – even the hidden ductwork behind your walls!
Improve indoor air quality and allergies
Many home owners notice dust collection around registers and higher than average dust collecting on surfaces throughout their homes. Leaky ducts pull dust, mold, and other pollutants into your home, presenting indoor air quality issues and creating and/or aggravating allergy problems. Duct leaks also contribute to safety issues in residential homes relating to back drafting of gas appliance fumes, auto exhaust and radon gas into your living space. Aeroseal home duct sealing will keep those dust, mold, and pollutants from being pulled into your living areas improving your air quality!
save on utility bills
Nearly 50% of the average home’s and commercial building energy bill is spent on heating, air conditioning and ventilation. Duct leakage in residential homes costs consumers $25 billion each year and costs much more to the commercial building operators / owners.
extend the life of your hvac unIT
If your HVAC unit is running for less duration of time, this will help extend the life of your equipment.
How to self inspect if you need Aeroseal
if you:
- Do not have mastic at the joints of your air ducts; you most likely have duct leakage. Up until 2016, ducts did not have to pass a duct leakage test to receive a Certificate of Occupancy (CO). Now, all new homes must pass a duct leakage test.
- See or can feel large holes at the seams of your duct work. How to put your leaky ducts to the test? Put your hand up and see if you can feel air leaking when the system is running.
- Visibly see dirt build up near or at the joints of your duct work either blowing outward or being pulled inward.
- Have duct tape at each joint of your duct work. Duct tape will not stand the test of time and it will fall off. This scenario leaves you with duct leakage.

why duct leakage matters
Duct leakage robs you of comfort, energy, and peace of mind
Cracks and holes in your home’s air vents and duct system allow heated and cooled air to escape before reaching your rooms. While even new ductwork may look professionally installed, each metal on metal connection that has not been properly sealed is a point of leakage. This results in leaving you with stuffy, uncomfortable rooms and wasted energy.
This leakage is a significant and often overlooked problem in homes.
The investment you make in your home is even more significant. Why not get the most out of your investment with a comfortable home?

How mold and bacteria grow in your HVAC System
when your ducts are located outside the building envelope (walls, crawl spaces, attics):
- Moisture is pulled into the HVAC system through the cracks of your ducts. Any time ducts reduce in size(to maintain velocity down the main duct or to supply a sub duct line) this creates a vacuum. This is called the Venturi effect! When moisture is pulled in from those cracks, it is now downstream of your AC Evaporator Coil. The primary purpose of your HVAC Evaporator coil is to pull humidity and heat out of the air. This can not happen when it is downstream of your coil, which leads to more moisture helping to create mold in your HVAC system. This will cause mold to grow on vents, sheetrock surrounding vents or even within the ducts themselves.
when your ducts are in the attic:
- Your attic can reach temperatures well exceeding 130 degrees on a summer day. This hot attic air is pulled into the ducts either downstream of the coil or on the return side of the HVAC system. The issue when pulled into the return duct is that the coil can not pull out the heat and humidity from elevated air temperatures. When it can not pull out the moisture/humidity, this moist humid air is pumped down the duct system causing elevated chances for mold.

aeroseal process
Our simple process ensures precise sealing in just a few hours. No mess, no fuss. We connect our patented technology to your home’s heating & air system to distribute the sealing formula.
Our non-toxic, water-based formula effectively seals all the holes in your air ducts and vents, making sure your air goes where you need it – not where you don’t. Have peace of mind seeing real-time results while the cracks are being sealed. You’ll even get a certificate of completion showing the before and after results.
prepare your system
Plugging your system with foam forces the air in your duct work to escape through leaks. By forcing air through leaks we are able to pretest your duct system and begin the duct sealing process.
continued preparation
A small access hole is cut into the supply or return and a temporary collar is attached. The air conditioning indoor coil, fan, and furnace are temporarily blocked with a foam plug to prevent sealant particles from entering this part of your system. The next step of the process is to pretest and inject non-toxic sealant into your duct work. The pretest measures exactly how much duct leakage your system has in square inches and also calculates just how much air is escaping through leaks in your duct work.
pretest your duct work
Once the system is properly prepped, the Aeroseal machine is connected to the duct work using flat tubing. The Air Duct Diagnostic pretest will detect the exact amount of duct leakage in the duct system - the typical duct leakage detected in a home is 30 - 40%. Next, the non-toxic, UL-tested and approved aerosol sealant is injected into your duct system. As the sealant exits your duct work through leaks, it begins to collect on the edge of the hole until the leak is completely sealed. Aeroseal can seal leaks up to 5/8 of an inch.
seal your duct work
Small aeroseal particles are injected and kept suspended in the airflow by continuous air movement. The airoseal particles begin collecting on the edges of holes and cracks in your duct work and seal your leaky duct work from the inside. This entire process in computer-controlled where you can monitor the results in real-time, showing you just how effective Aeroseal is. Ducts are sealed with only 1-2 ounces of sealant material.
review your results
A computer-generated analysis summarizes your home's duct leakage reduction, providing you with verification of the success of the Aeroseal application. Once the process is complete, your certified Aeroseal technician will provide you with a printed certificate summarizing your results.
have questions about aeroseal??
Advanced Air Duct Cleaning has answers
Will the insides of my ductwork be covered with sealant after Aeroseal?
The Aeroseal process does not coat or line the ductwork. The only sealant remaining in the ducts will be at the spot of the leak that was sealed.
Can Aeroseal reduce the noise made by the return and supply grilles in my home?
This noise is usually the result of two conditions. One is created when the ductwork is undersized and air is rushing through your air duct system. The other condition is caused when a limited amount of air is allowed to flow through the indoor coil of your heating and cooling system. Once the exact problem has been identified, your contractor can provide the best solution for noise reduction.
Can I clean my ducts after they are sealed by Aeroseal?
Ducts of all material types can be successfully cleaned after they have been sealed with Aeroseal.
Does the air ducts need to be cleaned prior to sealing?
Dirty ducts should be cleaned as we can not guarantee that the glue will adhere to dust and debris. We will inspect the ductwork during the Aeroseal estimate.
Does Aeroseal harm my HVAC System/equipment?
Aeroseal certified technicians are trained to protect all HVAC systems and accessories prior to sealing. Some items, such as humidifiers or UV lights, may be removed then reinstalled to prevent damage. Others may be bagged or covered.
Does Aeroseal harm electronics?
We recommend that any sensitive electronics be covered while Aeroseal is sealing your ductwork.
Where does the sealant leaking out of the ductwork go?
Sealant escaping from the ducts will settle in wall cavities, attics or crawl spaces. During the process we will filter the air to capture any sealant entering any living areas.
What about leaks that are too big?
Broken and disconnected ducts – large leaks – need to be fixed prior to sealing with Aeroseal. If a hidden large leak is uncovered during sealing, the process is stopped and a solution is discussed.
How big of a leak will Aeroseal seal?
Up to a 5/8th inch round hole can be sealed by Aeroseal.
Should I be in the house during the Aeroseal application?
We prefer that no one is in the house during sealing due to impact on productivity.
What VOCs are emitted by Aeroseal?
The sealant used by Aeroseal has been tested by an independant lab and found to have extremely low concentration of VOC’s during sealing time.
The primary componont has NO OSHA maximum exposure limit.
How long does it take for Aeroseal to dry?
It only takes around 2 hours for Aeroseal sealant to dry.
Will my house smell after Aeroseal?
There is a very mild odor similar to Elmer’s Glue during the sealing process.
The odor will dissipate completely by the next morning – but usually before.
How long does Aeroseal last?
Aeroseal is guaranteed for 10 years and stress tested for 40 years in residential applications.
How much will Aeroseal save me in energy costs?
A series of government reports have shown that air duct sealing can lead to up to $850 in energy savings per year.
Some homeowners have saved up to 40% on their energy bill. Naturally, exact savings are difficult to precisely estimate since they depend on a multitude of variables such as your weather, house condition and design, your heating and air conditioning system, system usage – as well as other factors like energy prices.
What does the air diagnostic and inspection tell me?
Inspection discovers any obvious break in the duct work and, as the initial step of the sealing process, the Aeroseal system will establish an exact amount of leakage in the duct system.
Of course, many people already know that a room or two in their house doesn’t get good air circulation because they can feel it. Or, they already know that their energy bill is high because they see it.
The diagnostic measurement, provides a scientifically valid means to understand the performance of your air duct system. Many people are surprised to learn that homes typically leak 30% to 40% or more of their air through air duct leaks.
Can aeroseal reduce the amount of dust in my home?
Ductwork runs through attics, crawlspaces, basements, garages, and walls. Leaking return air ducts pull in dust and other indoor air pollutants and sends them to the central heating and cooling system. From there they are sent to the living areas of your home. The Aeroseal air duct sealing system can reduce the amount of leakage by as much as 90%, reducing dust and other indoor air pollutants from the conditioned air in your home.
Can Aeroseal Fix Our Hot or Cold Rooms?
By sealing your ductwork utilizing the Aeroseal technology you can expect air to be delivered where it is designed to go and not into your not basement, attic, or crawl space.
This reduces hot or cold spots in rooms and between floors.
