Duct Sealing
Aeroseal Service in Grand Rapids, MI
Do you have uneven heating and cooling in your home? It is quite possible that all the air you are paying to temper is leaking out of your ductwork and not making it to its destination. This causes high utility bills and comfort issues in your home. Government reports suggest that homeowners can save up to $300 per year by sealing duct work. The best way to do this is through Aerosealing, which assists with duct sealing from the inside of a building. Aeroseal by Schaafsma Heating and Cooling will bring your home unsurpassed comfort and energy efficiency.
About Aerosealing
Aeroseal software allows your technician to accurately measure the duct leakage in your home. The Aeroseal process puts escaping air under pressure and causes polymer particles to stick first to the edges of the leak, then to each other until the leak is closed. While energy savings resulting from reducing leakage vary based on climate, utility rates, and your heating and cooling system, the other goals of even temperatures in all rooms, improved air quality, and reduction of odors and fumes will be improved regardless of those conditions.
How It Works
Our skilled technicians will perform a six step Aeroseal process in your home. This process takes very little time to perform while bringing you big savings and comfort. Here is what we'll do:
- Wall registers are covered in order for air to escape only from the leaks.
- Sealant is injected into the ducts for approximately 1 hour.
- Small aerosol particles are kept suspended in the airflow by continuous air movement.
- As the air stream makes a sharp turn to exit through a leak, the particles collide with and adhere to the leak edges.
- Ducts are sealed and only 1-2 oz. of the sealant material remains in the ducts.
- A computer-generated analysis summarizing your home's amount of leakage reduction is generated, providing verification of success of the process.
