Leaky ductwork is a major source of comfort problems and energy loss in homes. Even small gaps in ducts allow conditioned air to escape into attics, crawl spaces, or wall cavities, forcing HVAC systems to work harder while rooms remain uncomfortable. Professional duct sealing addresses these leaks, but the method used makes a significant difference.
At Peaden Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical, our Peaden Pros specialize in AeroSeal duct sealing in Mobile County, AL, an advanced solution that overcomes many of the limitations of traditional manual methods.
How Traditional Duct Sealing Works
Traditional duct sealing focuses on sealing ducts from the outside. Technicians locate visible leaks and apply sealants by hand to accessible areas of the duct system.
Manual duct sealing typically includes inspecting exposed ducts in attics, garages, or crawl spaces; applying mastic or approved foil tape to joints and seams, and sealing connections at registers, plenums, and air handlers. This approach can improve performance when leaks are limited and readily accessible. However, most duct systems run through areas that are difficult or impossible to access, which limits the effectiveness of manual sealing.
One of the biggest drawbacks of traditional duct sealing is access. Large portions of ductwork are often hidden behind walls, under floors, or embedded in ceilings. When these leaks go untreated, homeowners may see only partial improvements in comfort and efficiency, even after manual sealing.
How AeroSeal Duct Sealing Is Different
AeroSeal takes a different approach, sealing ducts from the inside. Instead of relying on physical access, this process uses airflow to deliver sealing material throughout the entire duct system. During an AeroSeal treatment:
- All vents and registers are temporarily sealed
- The duct system is pressurized
- Microscopic sealing particles are released into the airflow
- Particles collect at leak points and build a seal from within
Homeowners can take advantage of a free duct inspection plus $500 off qualifying duct replacement or AeroSeal treatment. Professional AeroSeal duct sealing helps restore comfort, improve efficiency, and protect the long-term performance of your HVAC system.
Benefits of Internal Sealing With AeroSeal
- Seals leaks throughout the entire duct network
- Reaches hidden and inaccessible duct sections
- Reduces air leakage more effectively
- Improves airflow balance from room to room
By restoring proper airflow, AeroSeal helps HVAC systems operate more efficiently and maintain consistent temperatures throughout the home.
Comparing Results and Long-Term Performance
Traditional duct sealing can be useful in specific situations, especially when leaks are visible and localized. AeroSeal is often the better choice for homes with widespread duct leakage or hard-to-reach duct layouts. Homeowners often notice greater comfort throughout the home, reduced energy waste, and improved overall system performance.
