If certain rooms in your Mobile County, AL, home always feel too warm, too cool, or unusually stuffy, the problem may not be your HVAC equipment. Leaky ductwork can let conditioned air escape before it reaches your living spaces, forcing the system to work harder while comfort still suffers. Aeroseal offers a professional way to seal hidden duct leaks from the inside and improve overall system performance.
Why Hidden Duct Leaks Cause Problems
Ductwork carries heated and cooled air throughout the home. When gaps, cracks, or loose connections develop, that conditioned air can escape into attics, crawl spaces, walls, and other areas where it provides no benefit.
According to Peaden’s video, many homes can lose 20% to 40% of their heated and cooled air through leaky ducts. That type of air loss can contribute to:
- Uneven temperatures from room to room
- Weak airflow from supply vents
- Higher heating and cooling costs
- Longer HVAC run times
- Increased wear on system components
- Stuffy or uncomfortable living areas
Leaks can also allow dusty, unfiltered air from surrounding spaces to enter the duct system and circulate throughout the home, potentially affecting indoor air quality.
How Aeroseal Seals Ductwork From the Inside
Some duct leaks are difficult to reach with traditional sealing methods. Aeroseal addresses this problem by sealing leaks from inside the duct system.
During the process, our Peaden Pros temporarily block the vents and gently pressurize the ductwork. We then introduce a safe, mist-like sealant into the system. As air moves through the ducts, the sealant particles are naturally drawn toward leaking areas.
The material collects around gaps and cracks until they are sealed. Aeroseal can address tiny pinholes as well as openings approximately the size of a quarter, making it effective for many leaks that might otherwise be hidden behind walls or in difficult-to-access areas.
Better Sealing Can Improve HVAC Performance
Once duct leaks are reduced, more conditioned air can reach the rooms where it belongs. That can improve airflow and help reduce uncomfortable temperature differences throughout the house.
Better duct sealing may also allow your HVAC system to maintain the thermostat setting without running as long. Reducing unnecessary runtime can help limit energy waste and minimize added strain on heating and cooling equipment.
Because the duct system plays such an important role in overall HVAC performance, professional duct testing can be valuable when homeowners are experiencing comfort problems even though the equipment itself appears to be operating properly.
Measure the Difference Before and After
Peaden Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical uses professional testing to measure duct leakage before and after Aeroseal service. This gives homeowners a clear picture of how much leakage existed and how significantly the sealing process improved the duct system.
Our NATE-certified Peaden Pros work with HVAC performance and indoor air quality concerns every day. Peaden has also served Gulf Coast homeowners for more than 50 years, bringing extensive experience to duct inspections, airflow concerns, and professional sealing solutions.
