Why Duct Sealing is Essential

Leaky ductwork can be like a sieve on your wallet. As air leaks out of the ducts, it causes your HVAC system to work harder to attain your ideal temperature. This increases energy consumption and, in turn, increases your utility bill.

Leaky ducts also create entry points for insects and other pests to enter the ducts. This includes moisture that can settle within the ducts and facilitate mold or mildew growth. All of these and other factors can diminish indoor air quality and make your home smell and feel less comfortable.

Signs You Need Duct Sealing

Poor installation, aging ducts, and even remodeling can cause leaks to form within your ducts. If you notice any of the following signs, HVAC duct sealing is something you should definitely consider:

Diminished indoor air quality
Inconsistent temperatures between rooms
Noticeable hot/cold spots within areas of your home
Excessive dust within the home
Unusual odors within rooms
Increasing prevalence of allergy symptoms
Rising utility bills without a change in habits

How Duct Sealing Works

At Complete Home Solutions, we offer Aeroseal duct sealing and other energy-efficient duct sealing solutions to fix duct leaks and maximize energy efficiency. When we arrive at your home, we will get to work with the duct sealing process, ensuring that air leaks and connections are properly sealed. In the case of Aeroseal, we will inject the non-toxic aerosol directly into your ductwork. As it flows through the ducts, the atomized particles will adhere to leaks where they will harden and dry, effectively blocking leaks.

It typically takes just a few hours to seal air ducts. However, home size, the complexity of your ductwork, and the type of ductwork sealing solution used can influence this timeline. As such, our team will assess the factors present within your home to determine an accurate timeline and will schedule the sealing appointment at a convenient date and time that is minimally disruptive to your routine.

Frequently Asked Questions About Duct Sealing

How can I tell if my air ducts need sealing?

Common signs include uneven temperatures between rooms, rising energy bills, excessive dust, and weak airflow from vents. Leaky ducts allow conditioned air to escape before it reaches your living space, making your HVAC system work harder. If you are noticing these issues, it may be time to explore duct sealing services or schedule a home energy audit to confirm the problem.

Can duct sealing fix uneven temperatures between rooms?

Yes, in many cases duct sealing can significantly improve temperature balance. When ducts have leaks, rooms farther from your HVAC system receive less conditioned air. Sealing those leaks helps restore proper airflow and improves overall comfort. In some homes, combining duct sealing with air sealing provides the best results.

What is Aeroseal duct sealing and how does it work?

Aeroseal is an advanced duct sealing process that seals leaks from the inside of your ductwork. A non-toxic aerosol is injected into the system, and particles attach to leak points and harden, closing gaps throughout the ducts. This method is highly effective for improving efficiency and airflow without major disruption. Learn more about Aeroseal duct sealing.

How long does duct sealing last?

Professional duct sealing can last 15 to 30 years depending on the condition of your ductwork and how well your HVAC system is maintained. Long-lasting results are most common when sealing is paired with proper system care and airflow improvements.

Is duct sealing worth it for energy savings?

Yes, duct sealing is one of the most effective ways to reduce energy loss in a home. Leaky ducts can waste a significant portion of the air your system produces. Sealing those leaks helps your system run more efficiently, which can lower energy costs and improve comfort at the same time.

How long does duct sealing take?

Most duct sealing projects can be completed within a few hours, depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the duct system. More advanced solutions like Aeroseal may require additional setup time but are still typically completed within the same day.
