Leaky ductwork can allow conditioned air to escape before it reaches your living spaces, leaving your system running longer while comfort remains inconsistent. Aeroseal offers a professional way to seal many hidden duct leaks from the inside and improve how effectively air moves throughout your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Hidden Duct Leaks Can Waste Conditioned Air<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your duct system carries heated and cooled air from the HVAC equipment to different rooms. Gaps, cracks, and loose connections can allow some of that air to escape into attics, crawl spaces, wall cavities, and other areas where it does not improve indoor comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homes can lose 20% to 40% of their heated and cooled air through leaky ducts. That wasted air can contribute to several problems, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Hot and cold spots throughout the home<\/li><li>Weak airflow from certain vents<\/li><li>Longer HVAC system run times<\/li><li>Higher utility costs<\/li><li>Added wear on heating and cooling equipment<\/li><li>Rooms that feel stuffy or difficult to keep comfortable<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Duct leakage can also affect indoor air quality. Openings may allow dusty, unfiltered air from surrounding spaces to enter the duct system and circulate through your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Aeroseal Targets Leaks From Inside the Ducts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional duct sealing may require technicians to access individual problem areas directly. That can be difficult when ductwork runs behind walls, above ceilings, or through other hard-to-reach locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aeroseal takes a different approach. Our Peaden Pros temporarily block the vents and gently pressurize the duct system. A safe, mist-like sealant is then released inside the ductwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the air moves through the system, the sealant particles are drawn toward gaps and cracks. The particles accumulate around those openings until the leaks are sealed. The technology can address everything from small pinholes to openings approximately the size of a quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Better Sealing Can Improve Comfort and Efficiency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once leaks are reduced, more of the conditioned air your HVAC system produces can reach the rooms where it belongs. Better airflow may help balance temperatures throughout the home and reduce rooms that consistently feel uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Improved duct sealing can also help the HVAC system maintain the thermostat setting without running as long. Reducing unnecessary runtime can help limit wasted energy and decrease avoidable wear on major components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because airflow problems can have several causes, professional testing is important before assuming the equipment itself needs repair or replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Professional Testing Shows the Difference<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Peaden Air Conditioning, Plumbing &amp; Electrical uses industry-leading testing to measure duct leakage before and after Aeroseal service. That gives homeowners a clear way to see how much the sealing process improved the duct system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our NATE-certified Peaden Pros regularly address airflow and indoor air quality concerns throughout the Gulf Coast region.
