As a homeowner, you naturally want to keep all of your systems working as efficiently and effectively as possible. This is not only to save money on your energy bills – which is a nice bonus – but also to make your home as comfortable as possible for you and your family. While you have probably thought of a number of steps you could take toward this end, such as installing new windows, you may not have thought about your ducts as a potential solution. By sealing up your ductwork properly by using our Aeroseal system , you can enjoy a number of benefits, including the ones listed below!

Better Air Quality

Breathing in clean, fresh air while inside your home is a great feeling – but it is not a feeling that all homeowners can enjoy each day. If your duct system has leaks, it can allow dust, chemicals, and more into your home to decrease your air quality. By taking the step of sealing up the ducts correctly, you will be able to keep all of these unwanted ‘guests’ out of your house. Most people notice a dramatic improvement in air quality when their ducts are sealed, meaning they can breathe easier for years to come.

Improve Your Safety

The ductwork that is connected to appliances such as clothes dryers and water heaters may transport gases that you do not want in your house – gases like carbon monoxide. Of course, if your ductwork is not sealed correctly, those gases could indeed wind up in your house rather than being vented to the outside. With that in mind, it is obvious that sealing up your ducts tightly is a great way to keep the gases where they belong as you run your various appliances.

Make Your Home More Comfortable

Everyone loves a comfortable home, and sealed ducts will help promote comfort by making it easier to regulate the temperature of your house during both the summer and winter. In the summer, warm air will not be able to make its way through the ducts and into your living spaces from the outside. Just the same, cold air will have a harder time working its way into the house in the winter when you are trying to keep your rooms nice and warm. If you are tired of having specific rooms in your house that run either hotter or colder than the rest of the space, you may be able to greatly reduce that problem by giving your ductwork the attention it needs.

Save Money!

If there is one thing people love more than being comfortable at home, it is saving money while being comfortable at home. When your ducts are sealed up correctly, your appliances will be able to run more efficiently, meaning you should wind up spending less money each month on utilities. The exact amount of savings you experience will depend on a number of factors, but nearly everyone should see some degree of savings after having duct sealing work completed.
