Revolutionary Duct Sealing Technology for Your Home

Aeroseal represents one of the most significant advancements in HVAC efficiency technology that we’ve implemented at Ellsworth Home Services since our founding in 2009. This innovative duct sealing solution addresses a problem that affects nearly 90% of homes across Gilbert, AZ and the surrounding communities – significant air leakage through ductwork that compromises both comfort and energy efficiency. When your ductwork has leaks, gaps, and holes, your carefully conditioned air escapes into unconditioned spaces like attics and crawl spaces, forcing your HVAC system to work harder and longer to maintain comfortable temperatures throughout your home.

The impact of leaky ductwork extends far beyond simple energy waste. According to the Department of Energy, homes typically lose 20 to 30 percent of the air moving through their duct systems due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts. This means that for every dollar you spend on heating and cooling, up to thirty cents could be escaping through duct leaks. Our factory-trained technicians have witnessed firsthand how this affects homeowners in Gilbert and Chandler, AZ, where extreme summer temperatures make efficient cooling absolutely essential for comfort and safety.

How Aeroseal Technology Works

The Aeroseal process begins with a comprehensive diagnostic test of your existing ductwork system. We temporarily block all registers and vents throughout your home, then use specialized equipment to pressurize the duct system. This allows us to measure the exact amount of air leakage present before any sealing work begins. The computerized system provides precise measurements in cubic feet per minute, giving us concrete data about your system’s current efficiency levels. This baseline measurement becomes crucial for demonstrating the dramatic improvements achieved through the sealing process.

Once we’ve established your ductwork’s current condition, we inject a safe, non-toxic aerosol sealant into the pressurized duct system. The sealant particles remain suspended in the airflow until they reach leak points, where they accumulate and bond together to form a permanent seal. The beauty of this technology lies in its ability to find and seal leaks from the inside out, reaching areas that would be impossible to access through traditional manual sealing methods. The sealant only adheres to the edges of leaks and gaps, gradually building up until the opening is completely sealed. Throughout this process, computer sensors continuously monitor the reduction in duct leakage, providing real-time feedback on the sealing progress.

Benefits That Transform Home Comfort

The immediate benefits of Aeroseal duct sealing become apparent as soon as we complete the service. Homeowners consistently report more even temperatures throughout their homes, eliminating those frustrating hot and cold spots that plague so many properties. Rooms that previously struggled to maintain comfortable temperatures suddenly receive proper airflow, making every square foot of your home genuinely livable. Our experience serving homeowners throughout the valley has shown that properly sealed ductwork can reduce energy bills by up to 30 percent, providing significant monthly savings that quickly offset the initial investment.

Beyond energy savings and improved comfort, Aeroseal delivers important health and air quality benefits. Sealed ductwork prevents dust, allergens, and other pollutants from being drawn into your system through leaks in unconditioned spaces. This means cleaner air circulating through your home and less frequent filter changes. Additionally, proper duct sealing reduces strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially extending its lifespan and reducing the frequency of repairs. As a factory-authorized dealer of American Standard, Day & Night, and Rheem products, we understand how crucial proper ductwork is to maximizing the performance and longevity of these premium HVAC systems.

The Aeroseal Advantage Over Traditional Methods

Traditional duct sealing methods typically involve manually accessing visible ductwork and applying mastic sealant or metal tape to apparent leaks. However, this approach has significant limitations:

  • Inaccessible areas remain untreated: much of your ductwork runs through walls, floors, and other confined spaces where manual sealing is impossible
  • Small leaks go undetected: tiny gaps and pinholes that collectively cause substantial energy loss are often invisible to the naked eye
  • Labor-intensive process: manual sealing requires extensive time and often involves cutting into walls or ceilings to access hidden ductwork
  • Incomplete results: even the most thorough manual sealing typically achieves only 50-60% leak reduction compared to Aeroseal’s 90% or better performance

Professional Installation and Lasting Results

At Ellsworth Home Services, our certified technicians undergo specialized training to master the Aeroseal application process. The entire procedure typically takes four to eight hours, depending on your home’s size and ductwork complexity. We begin by protecting your HVAC equipment and ensuring all registers are properly prepared. The actual sealing process usually takes two to three hours, during which the computerized system continuously monitors progress and adjusts the sealant injection as needed. Once complete, we provide you with a detailed certificate showing your ductwork’s before and after leakage rates, documenting the dramatic improvement achieved.

The Aeroseal sealant we use has been extensively tested and proven to last for decades. The material remains flexible after curing, allowing it to withstand the normal expansion and contraction of ductwork due to temperature changes. It’s also safe for your family and pets, having been used in hospitals, schools, and homes for over two decades. The sealant has been tested by Underwriters Laboratories and meets all safety standards for residential use. We back our Aeroseal service with a comprehensive warranty, giving you peace of mind that your investment in home comfort and efficiency is protected.

Investment in Long-Term Comfort and Savings

When considering Aeroseal for your home, it’s important to view it as a long-term investment in both comfort and energy efficiency. The typical payback period through energy savings alone ranges from two to five years, depending on your current duct leakage levels and energy costs. However, the immediate improvement in comfort and indoor air quality provides value that extends beyond simple financial calculations. Many homeowners find that rooms previously unusable during extreme weather become comfortable year-round, effectively adding functional living space to their homes.

Expert home service is our top priority, and we offer free estimates to help you understand exactly how Aeroseal can benefit your specific situation. Our no evening or weekend upcharge policy means you can schedule service at your convenience without penalty.
