Air Duct Testing & Sealing

Getting a duct leakage test is beneficial for several reasons, and it can be a wise investment for home or building owners. Here are the key reasons why you should consider getting a duct leakage test. Duct leaks can cause significant energy wastage. When conditioned air (heated or cooled) escapes from the ducts before reaching its intended destination, your HVAC system has to work harder and longer to maintain the desired indoor temperature. A duct leakage test helps identify these leaks, enabling you to seal them and improve energy efficiency. By reducing energy wastage, you can lower your utility bills and save money in the long run. Leaky duct can lead to inconsistent airflow and temperature imbalances throughout the building. Leaky ducts can act as entry point for dust, dirt, allergens, and other pollutants from attics, crawlspaces, or wall cavities. In some regions, duct leakage testing is required by building Code and standards compliance.

AeroSeal is a patented duct sealing technology is an exceptionally efficient at sealing duct leaks, even in hard-to-reach areas. It can effectively seal leaks that might be challenging to access using traditional manual sealing methods. Sealing duct leakage ensures that conditioned air reaches its intended destinations, leading to more consistent temperature and better indoor comfort throughout the building. The AeroSeal process is relatively quick, and typically does not require extensive disruption or modification to the property.

IAQ stands for Indoor Air Quality, which refers to the quality of the air within building, homes or other enclosed spaces where people live, work or spend a significant amount of time. PM2.5 is a specific air pollutant that is frequently monitored as part of assessing indoor air quality. PM2.5 refers to particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or smaller. These tiny particulates are small enough to be inhaled into the lungs, and they can have adverse health especially when present in high concentrations. PM2.5 can be generated from various sources, including combustion processes (burning of fossisl fuels, wood or tobacco) cooking dust and other indoor activities. It can exacerbate existing conditions such as asthma and allergies and may cause symptoms like coughing, wheezing, shorness of breath, and throat irritation. Prolong exposure to high PM2.5 concentrations can have more severe health consequences.
