testing to last over 10 years without
failure.
Q:
Do ducts need to be cleaned before sealing?
A:
Ducts do not have to be cleaned before the sealing application.
Q:
Does the sealant coat the inside of the
ductwork?
A: The sealant only sticks to the holes in the ductwork without
coating the rest of the duct.
Q:
Is the sealing material used by Aeroseal
safe?
A: The vinyl polymer is safe, using the same base material
as used in chewing gum and is UL
tested and approved.
Q:
Does the sealant leave an odor?
A: The Aeroseal process leaves no lingering odor, and since
the material does not put off
gas over time, there will be no odor for the life of the product.
Q:
If the rooms of my home have inconsistent
temperatures, can Aeroseal help?
A: Aeroseal can help improve the comfort of your home by
reducing the difference in
temperature in rooms throughout your home.
Q:
Can Aeroseal help reduce my utility bills?
A: Some homeowners have saved over $300 a year on utility
bills after having Aeroseal seal
the ductwork of their home.
Q:
Can Aeroseal reduce the noise made by
the return and supply grilles in my home?
A: If the ductwork is poorly designed or installed, not
enough air may be able to pass through
your indoor coil, freezing up your system, and creating a wet,
loud and costly problem. If the
ductwork is undersized, the air travels at a faster rate and creates
noise. If the return grilles
are undersized, the air travels through the grille at a higher
rate of speed and makes noise.
Q:
Can Aeroseal reduce the amount of dust
in my home?
A: Ductwork runs through attics, crawlspaces, basements,
garages, and walls. Leaky return
ducts pull in dust and pollutants, sends them through the furnace,
and then out into the living
area of you home through the supply ducts. Aeroseal can reduce
the amount of leakage by
as much as 90%, reducing dust and other pollutants from entering
your home.
