You are viewing the Panama City, FL location.
If some rooms in your Panama City, FL, home feel too warm, too cool, or consistently stuffy, your HVAC system may not be the only issue. Leaky ductwork can allow conditioned air to escape into attics, walls, crawl spaces, and other areas before it reaches the rooms where you need it. A professional duct inspection can identify these hidden losses, while Aeroseal can help seal many of them from inside the duct system.
How Leaky Ductwork Wastes Energy
Your HVAC system works hard to heat and cool the air that moves through your ductwork. When gaps, cracks, or loose connections develop, some of that conditioned air escapes before it reaches your living spaces.
According to Peaden’s video, many homes can lose 20% to 40% of their heated and cooled air through duct leaks. That wasted air can lead to:
- Uneven temperatures throughout the home
- Longer heating and cooling cycles
- Higher utility bills
- Extra wear on HVAC equipment
- Reduced comfort in certain rooms
Leaky ducts can also pull dusty, unfiltered air into the system. That air may then circulate through your home, potentially affecting indoor air quality along with comfort and efficiency.
What a Professional Duct Inspection Can Find
Many duct leaks are difficult to see because large portions of the duct system may be hidden above ceilings, behind walls, or inside attic spaces. A professional inspection and leakage test can provide a much clearer picture of how well the system is performing.
Our Peaden Pros use industry-leading testing to measure duct leakage before sealing begins. That gives homeowners a baseline and helps determine whether Aeroseal is an appropriate solution.
Testing is performed again after the sealing process so you can see the difference in duct leakage for yourself.
How Aeroseal Seals Duct Leaks From the Inside
Aeroseal is an advanced duct-sealing technology that works from inside the duct system. During service, the vents are temporarily blocked and the ductwork is gently pressurized.
A safe, mist-like sealant is then released into the ducts. As air escapes through leaks, sealant particles are drawn toward those openings and collect around their edges until they are sealed.
Aeroseal can address tiny pinholes as well as gaps approximately the size of a quarter. Because the process works internally, it can reach leaks that may be difficult to access through conventional sealing methods.
Better Sealing Can Improve Comfort and Performance
Once leaks are sealed, more conditioned air can reach the rooms where it belongs. That can improve airflow, help temperatures stay more consistent, and reduce the time your HVAC system must run to satisfy the thermostat.
