Our Duct Repair Options
We offer a wide range of ductwork improvement services for your needs:
Duct Sealing: We perform airflow and leakage tests, seal air leaks and connections, and repair disconnected ducts to help improve the performance of your ductwork and heating and air conditioning system.
Duct Insulation: Adding insulation to your ducts in unconditioned spaces, like your attic or basement, can help improve your comfort and HVAC energy efficiency.
Before performing work on ducts, we inspect the whole duct system, including the attic, basement and crawl space, and evaluate supply and return air balance. After making duct improvements, we test for leakage and airflow and perform a combustion safety test.
Causes of your poor ductwork performance
Heating and cooling ducts in an unconditioned attic can cause uneven temperatures inside your living space.Problems with your ductwork can make your energy costs higher and make it difficult to keep your whole home comfortable, no matter how much you adjust your thermostat. Here are some issues that could be behind your poorly performing ducts:
- Leaky ducts: Oftentimes these temperature issues arise because the hot, or cold, air is not actually reaching its intended destination. Duct leakage is letting the air escape before it has arrived in the correct room. This tends to force your HVAC system to stay on longer and longer in order to get the effected rooms to the right temperature.
- Under-insulated ducts: A lack of proper insulation often causes the ducts themselves to be too hot or cool. Thus the HVAC system actually has to waste time heating or cooling the ducts before rooms can receive the correct temperature air. This leads to a higher heating/cooling bill and may even leave certain rooms still improperly heated/cooled.
- Ducts with unbalanced air flow: Sometimes the register location can also cause problems. Certain rooms might end up receiving too much air flow from your HVAC system while others might end up largely ignored.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aeroseal Duct Sealing
What is Aeroseal duct sealing?
Aeroseal is a specialized duct sealing process that seals leaks from inside your ductwork. Instead of manually sealing accessible joints only, Aeroseal sends a non-toxic aerosol through the system, where particles collect at leak points and close gaps throughout the ducts. This helps improve airflow, comfort, and energy efficiency.
How is Aeroseal different from traditional duct sealing?
Traditional duct sealing usually focuses on sealing visible joints, connections, and accessible leaks from the outside. Aeroseal is designed to find and seal leaks from the inside of the duct system, including leaks that may be difficult to reach manually. In many homes, this makes Aeroseal a more complete solution for hidden duct leakage. Learn more about our duct sealing services.
When is Aeroseal duct sealing recommended?
Aeroseal is often recommended when a home has uneven temperatures, weak airflow, rising energy bills, or signs that conditioned air is being lost through hidden duct leaks. It can be especially effective for duct systems running through attics, crawl spaces, or other unconditioned spaces where leakage can have a bigger impact on comfort and efficiency.
Can Aeroseal help fix uneven temperatures between rooms?
Yes, Aeroseal can help improve temperature consistency by reducing air loss throughout the duct system. When ducts leak, rooms farther from the HVAC system may not receive enough conditioned air. Sealing those hidden leaks can improve airflow delivery and help your home feel more balanced.
Does Aeroseal also insulate ductwork?
No, Aeroseal is a duct sealing solution, not a duct insulation service. It is designed to stop air leakage, while insulation helps protect the temperature of the air moving through the ducts. In some homes, the best results come from combining Aeroseal with duct insulation and broader air sealing improvements.
Is Aeroseal worth it for energy savings?
Aeroseal can be worth it when duct leakage is contributing to high utility bills, comfort issues, or HVAC inefficiency. By sealing leaks that waste conditioned air, Aeroseal helps your system deliver more of the heated or cooled air you are already paying for. That can improve comfort and reduce unnecessary system strain over time.
