Aeroseal Duct Sealing from the Inside

Aeroseal Duct SealingTired of suffering from rooms that were too cold in the winter and hot in the summer, this Maryland homeowner decided to find out exactly why they couldn't keep their house comfortable.

We Find Air Loss & Provide the Fix

With the Aeroseal Certified Duct Diagnostics & Sealing system Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva is able to show homeowners exactly how much air they are losing before the duct sealing and how much it has been reduced after sealing has been completed.

With a 33 square inch hole this homeowner was losing 172 cfm of air every time the HVAC system came on. This is like have two supply registers in the attic.

After the Dr. Energy Saver team completed the duct sealing it was reduced to only a 4 square inch hole. That's an 88% reduction in duct leakage.

How Our Results Compare to Newly Installed Systems

When comparing this to new homes that are being built in Maryland today under the new 2012 Energy Code this home only has 1.3% duct leakage where new homes are allowed to have 4%.

Dr. Energy Saver used Aeroseal in the duct work of this 20+-year-old home, and the Aeroseal outperformed the new ductwork!

Does this sound like a lot of air leakage to you? The unfortunate part about duct work and this amount of leakage is that it all too common. Until recently there were no inspections that verified that the duct work was connected and sealed properly. If you don't have an Aeroseal Certificate for your duct work you could be losing 30% or more of your conditioned air outside.

Aeroseal is for Old and New Homes

Aeroseal is not just for older homes. If your building a new home and want to make sure your duct work is sealed properly then aeroseal is the tool for the job. Aeroseal Certified Duct Diagnostic and Sealing also meets all state requirements for Energy Code Duct Blaster Testing.
