INCREASE COMFORT | SAVE MONEY | LIVE HEALTHIER
Maximize your comfort with expert duct sealing
Leaky ducts significantly contribute to the warmth and cooling of a home. Even the most energy-efficient heating and cooling systems cannot control the amount of comfort you experience in your living spaces if there are leaking ducts. The loss of cool and warm air to the wrong places inside, outside or in the unconditioned spaces of a home is significantly reduced with Aeroseal duct sealing because our patented sealing technology seals the ducts airtight. With Aeroseal, hard to heat or cool rooms will have even temperatures and will be more comfortable. Humidity levels are also easier to control after an Aeroseal.
The Cost of Leaky Ducts and the Value of Duct Sealing
Homeowners in Minneapolis may not ever think about their air ducts. But the fact is, something that most of us never even think about could be costing us a lot more money than we realize. Whether a home is old or new, leaking ducts cost a homeowner money, not to mention the stress it causes an HVAC system. Consider this:
- About 50% of the average home’s utility bill is spent on heating and air conditioning.
- On average, 30 cents of every $1 spent on heating and cooling a home disappears into thin air due to leaky ducts.
- 25% to 60% of heated and cooled air leaks doesn’t make it to their intended rooms.*
- Duct leakage in homes costs homeowners $25 billion a year in utility costs.
CREATE A SAFER, HEALTHIER HOME
- Leaks pull mold, dust and other pollutants into your home causing indoor air quality issues and have potential to create harmful allergy problems.
- Leaks contribute to safety issues related to backdraft of appliance fumes, auto exhaust and radon gases being released into your home.

Benefits of Aeroseal
IMPROVED ENERGY EFFICIENCY
As you might imagine, when you are enjoying all the heated or cooled air created by your HVAC system, the house will be far more comfortable than when it was riddled with leaking ducts. That translates to less time running the heater or air conditioner and lower utility costs. Of course, no one will be upset having a little more breathing room each month in the household budget. And the environment will also thank you for reducing energy consumption and your carbon footprint.
LENGTHEN THE LIFE OF YOUR HVAC SYSTEM
Even if you only had a 10% loss of heated and cooled air in your home’s ductwork, it adds up over the years. So instead of looking at just a meager 10% reduction in the workload placed on your HVAC equipment, let’s translate it to added life. The average heating and cooling system last around 15 years. And 10% of 15 years is an added 1.5 years of reliable service you could be gaining from your heating and cooling equipment. So when you think in these terms, the cost of Aerosealing your ductwork is a sound investment with a fantastic return on your investment.
IMPROVED INDOOR AIR QUALITY
You and your loved ones breathe the air inside your home day and night. But have you thought about all the dirt and filth that can be settling into the ductwork when the fan is not using them to circulate warmed or cooled air? Yes, all those places that are stealing your warm air in the winter and cool air in the summer also allow dust and contamination to enter the ducts. Then, all that dirt and contamination are blown throughout the house when the fan turns on. So sealing the leaks with Aeroseal is a reliable way to reduce the contaminants that you and your loved ones breathe when inside your home. This innovative process has also been found to help reduce airborne allergens like pet dander and allergic reactions to mold and mildew.
