Inefficiency can have a detrimental effect on your HVAC system in the long run. If the ducts are leaking, the air conditioning system will have to work harder to maintain the desired temperature, reducing its efficiency by 20 to 45 percent. Over time, this inefficiency can cause accelerated wear and tear on the system, resulting in costly and frequent repairs. Leaks are a major issue in many duct systems, as they prevent all of the air conditioning produced by the air conditioning system from reaching living spaces.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), an average home loses 20 to 30 percent of its air conditioning due to leaks in the ducts. Some of the air conditioner escapes from the duct system, while the rest reaches the bedrooms, kitchen, living room, and other parts of the house. Aeroseal is a relatively new service in the air conditioning industry that Air Pros is proud to offer its customers. It is very effective in sealing cracks and holes in ducts.
The durability of Aeroseal has been proven for more than four decades and it has exceeded all UL durability standards. Therefore, contractors are covered by a 10-year warranty for labor and parts in case of any failure in the Aeroseal seal. However, the Aeroseal seal itself lasts for decades. Many people still have questions about this service.
To help you understand why Aeroseal duct sealing services are so important, we'll provide answers to some of the most common questions below. According to the U. S. Department of Energy, repairing air ducts is one of the most effective ways to improve energy consumption.
Sealing the ducts yourself requires a lot of guesswork, while a certified Aeroseal technician can find and seal all the places where air escapes from the ducts, so you can be sure that the job is done correctly. The inner surfaces of the duct must not be wet or contain standing water, as the joints will soften and deteriorate over time if they come into contact with water or are submerged in it. The Aeroseal is perfect for sealing concrete-lined air conditioning ducts if the right conditions are met. However, major advances in test procedures have revealed that most heating and air conditioning problems are due to poor air distribution systems.
Sealing air ducts with Aeroseal prevents these contaminants from entering the circulating air.
