Hi Gary,
I would like to comment a bit about the Aeroseal application you did
on my house. As a matter of background, we have a 40 year old house
and over recent years have gotten new windows and doors, new furnace
and A/C and, added significant insulation in my attic. All that and
move to save energy and make our home more comfortable.
One continuing problem was the airflow to some of the rooms was
somewhat weak and as a result I have to balance my ducts every
Spring and Winter but, there were still cold/hot (depending on the
season) spots in my house. I have access to only about 20 to 25% of
my ductwork and even used metal tape and mastic on what I could
reach to seal the ductwork but, 75% of them were in the walls or in
ceilings and I could do nothing about those.
I saw your product in an advertisement and it made sense to me. I
did some research and I called you and we discussed my situation. To
my surprise, you were able to come out within a few days.
I must say, it was surely an effort to set up the tests but it sure
does demonstrate the shortcoming of the ductwork installation. To my
amazement, when you sealed all the vents and did the pressure test,
my ductwork had a leak rate of 254 cubic feet per minute (equivalent
to a 48 square inch hole)….gosh, no wonder the back rooms were cool,
they were getting no air! Fortunately, when you finished the
application, while not completely sealed, it was a mere 31 CFM (6 sq
in hole).
Your Aeroseal process had really done a good job of sealing the
leaks. I immediately realized a huge difference in airflow to all
the vents and especially the back bedrooms and the vents furthest
away from the furnace. The very next day, I was in the basement
re-balancing the ducts, closing some dampers and opening other
dampers, and because the basement work areas vents were closed off,
I noticed how cold it was down there..a direct result of no leaking
heat. I had to open a vent.
Today, I am very pleased with the outcome. I have proper airflow to
all my rooms and I know when I “tune” my ducts from now on, the
rooms will be the right temperatures and get sufficient airflow. One
of the good things is I seem to have stopped heating wall spaces and
ceiling cavities. To be honest, it is too early to tell if I will
save any money on energy costs but, the comfort level in my home is
significantly better than before the Aeroseal treatment and really,
that is, to us, as important.
Thank you for your service and in my opinion, Aeroseal is a good
product, a product that makes so much sense and it can make a
difference in almost every house.

What a difference in our heating since we sealed the ducts with
Aeroseal. We had a very annoying whistle in the duct work in the
bedroom which is now gone. We have teenage girls who were always
freezing – now they complain that it’s too hot! We have turned the
temperature down 2° and have had to close vents in the back bedroom
because it is too warm.

Our family room, which is the furthest room away from the furnace,
now has substantially increased airflow now that our ducts are
sealed. Happy to say that what Aeroseal Ottawa promised – they
delivered. Appreciated the professional service.

Immediately after having Aeroseal seal the ducts, I noticed that the
house is warmer. The furnace is not coming on as often and shuts
down quicker.

I immediately noticed a difference in the airflow and that there is
more air into the farthest bedrooms. It is also a lot quieter when
the furnace comes on and it shuts down earlier.
