Duct leakage may be causing your indoor air quality problems.

A good transmission gets power to all the wheels of a car.  Just like a good air duct system gets air to all the rooms of your home. 

The problem with leaky ductwork is that air can not only leak out of you HVAC system and air ducts -- untreated and unclean air and contaminants from the crawlspaces, attic and other place can actually be pulled in to the air you and your family breath.

Since so many air duct systems leak and pull bad air in (we find 20 to 40% leakage in 3 out of 4 homes we visit), poor air quality is a problem that many homes have.

Here's what independent utility companies, researchers and government officials are publishing about how Aeroseal fixes the problem of leaky ducts and poor airflow ...

Improved Duct Sealing
ASHRAE Journal (Oct 2003)

"Nothing is certain but death and taxes - and perhaps leaky ducts."

A New Comfort Remedy
Built Green® Articles (July 26, 2002)

"This time of year the airwaves are filled with ads urging you to get your ducts cleaned. Your ducts are your home's lungs, they say, so why wouldn't you clean them? Yet if comfort is a problem in your home, its more important to seal your ducts than it is to clean them up.

Virtually every home's ductwork leaks. According to LBNL, typical duct systems lose 25 to 40 percent of the heating and cooling energy put out by the furnace or air conditioner. Field observations by contractors working with Energy Rated Homes of Colorado generally support LBNL's claim."

Do a Spring Cleaning on Your Energy Bills
The Street.com (April 2002)

"For those who want a perfect seal in hard-to-reach places, EPA's Rashkin recommends a brand-new product called Aeroseal, which seals ducts from the inside out, just as the sprays used for flat tires do."

Duct Tightening
California Energy Department (2001)

"Innovative materials and processes are being introduced to the marketplace by Aeroseal, Inc.  Testing techniques and qualified contractors to verify leakage levels are becoming more available due to demand created by the residential duct sealing provisions in the standards and the inclusion of duct sealing in the AB 970 process."

Weatherization Test Drives Spray Sealant Home Energy Magazine Online (Nov/Dec 2001)

"Until recently, duct-sealing methods have not gotten enough attention from building scientists. Aerosol spray sealant offers a relatively new way to seal ducts--one that is becoming commercialized in some parts of the United States (see "Aerosol Spray Technology"). One advantage of this technology is that it reduces diagnostic and repair times, because the location of small leaks does not need to be visually identified, and wall, ceiling, and floor cavities do not need to be opened to gain access to the leaks. Aerosol spray can seal small or unreachable leaks that cannot be sealed in other ways."

Las Vegas Contractor Tackles Leaky Ducts
IAQ News (Oct 2001)

"WHY TAPE DOESN'T WORK - For three months, LBNL researchers tested a variety of sealing materials -- many kinds of duct tape, clear plastic tape, foil-backed tape, mastic, and injected aerosol sealant -- under conditions similar to those encountered in installed hvac systems. Of all the products tested, only duct tape failed. In fact researchers said that "It failed reliably and often quite catastrophically."
