Unlock More Comfort and Savings with Ambia’s Newest Service
October 30, 2024
Ambia’s commitment to empowering homeowners with energy-efficient solutions continues to grow. We are excited to introduce our newest service—professional duct sealing—now offered by our in-house, Aeroseal-certified teams.
Our duct sealing service uses the latest technology to ensure your HVAC system operates at its highest efficiency, offering increased comfort and potential long-term savings.
Why Duct Sealing Matters to Homeowners
It is easy to forget the crucial role that duct systems play in home energy efficiency day-in and day-out. Over time, small leaks, gaps, or damage to the air ducts can lead to a significant loss of heated or cooled air, which makes your HVAC system work harder to maintain the desired indoor temperature. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 95% of homes have significant duct leakage. As much as 40% of the air moving through duct systems can be lost through leaks or poorly connected ducts.
Ambia’s duct sealing service helps mitigate this issue by using Aeroseal, an industry-leading solution that seals duct leaks without the need for extensive manual repairs or invasive work. This process enhances your home’s energy efficiency and can contribute to lowering your utility bills.
Key Benefits of Duct Sealing
Potential Energy Savings
With less air escaping from your ducts, your HVAC system may require less energy to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, which could result in lower energy costs. However, actual savings depend on several factors, including the condition of your duct system, the size of your home, and your current energy usage patterns.
Improved Indoor Comfort
By reducing air loss, duct sealing can help ensure that each room in your home receives the same level of heating or cooling, providing a more consistent and comfortable indoor environment.
Better Indoor Air Quality
Sealing your ducts can help prevent dust, allergens, and other contaminants from entering the system, potentially improving indoor air quality for you and your family. However, the extent of air quality improvements can vary based on the condition of your home’s HVAC system and environment.
Increased HVAC Efficiency and Longevity
A properly sealed duct system allows your HVAC equipment to operate more efficiently, potentially extending its lifespan by reducing wear and tear. Note that system performance improvements will depend on several factors, including the age and type of your HVAC system.
Aeroseal is a patented duct sealing process that provides a safe and effective way to seal leaks from the inside of your duct system. This non-invasive method can seal up to 95% of duct leaks, and it is backed by rigorous testing to ensure its durability and effectiveness.
The Aeroseal Process
1
System Inspection and Preparation
Our trained, Aeroseal-certified technicians will begin by inspecting your ductwork and preparing the system for sealing. This involves temporarily blocking off the supply and return vents to control airflow during the sealing process.
2
Sealing with Aeroseal Technology
A specially formulated, water-based sealant is aerosolized and injected into the duct system. This aerosolized sealant contains microscopic, non-toxic particles that are engineered to bond with any leaks, cracks, or holes in the ductwork.
3
Completion and Final Testing
Once the leaks are sealed, we will conduct thorough testing to ensure that the ducts are properly sealed and functioning efficiently. Our team also Aeroseal is a patented duct sealing process that provides a safe and effective way to seal leaks from the inside of your duct system.
Duct Sealing & Solar for a Complete Home Solution
Duct sealing complements our solar solutions perfectly, as both are designed to maximize your home’s energy efficiency and reduce overall utility costs. By minimizing energy waste through improved airflow and temperature balance, duct sealing helps ensure that every watt produced by your solar system goes further, creating a more comfortable, sustainable, and cost-effective home environment.
Disclaimers:
- Actual energy savings, cost reductions, and improvements to HVAC system performance and air quality will vary based on factors specific to each home. Ambia does not guarantee specific results or savings as these will depend on the condition of the home, its HVAC system, and other variables.
- Duct sealing is designed to improve the efficiency of air distribution within the duct system and may contribute to lower utility costs; however, Ambia cannot guarantee specific reductions in energy bills.
- The Aeroseal process is safe and has been tested for performance and durability. However, all claims related to health benefits or air quality improvements are dependent on the existing conditions of the home and HVAC system.
