AEROSEAL DUCT SEALING FOR RESIDENCES
Seal leaking air ducts, eliminate hot and cold rooms, and reduce HVAC energy waste by up to 40%. Serving southern California.
Signs Your Home May Have Leaky Air Ducts
- Some rooms are hotter or colder than others
- Your HVAC system runs constantly
- Energy bills are higher than expected
- Weak airflow from vents
- Excess dust or allergy symptoms
Studies show 25–60% of heated and cooled air can be lost through duct leakage before it reaches living spaces. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ), heightened allergy symptoms or sick building syndrome (literally when indoor air issues make people sick). According to the NIH, studies show that improvement of IAQ increases office productivity and school learning, and improves sleep significantly while decreasing the risk of allergic and asthmatic symptoms within residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.
What is Aeroseal Duct Sealing?
Aeroseal duct sealing is a patented breakthrough technology that tackles leaks from the inside out.
Aeroseal duct sealing software allows our technicians to conduct a duct leakage test—accurately measuring the duct leakage in residences. The Aeroseal duct sealing process puts escaping air under pressure and causes polymer particles to first stick to the edges of a leak and then to each other, until the leak is closed.
Stop Air Leaks. Lower Energy Bills.
Most homes lose a large percentage of conditioned air through leaking duct systems. Aeroseal duct sealing provides an advanced solution that seals air leaks from inside the ductwork, improving comfort, indoor air quality, and HVAC efficiency.

Getting Technical
The Aeroseal duct sealing technology was developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in the Indoor Environment Group division, where it was tested by IAQ scientists. The research was funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Department of Energy, the Electric Power Research Institute and the California Institute of Energy and Environment.
The University of California was granted initial patents in 1996 and 1999, and Aeroseal, Inc. holds an exclusive license to this technology.
Action Duct Cleaning is proud to be an Aeroseal duct cleaning service agent—considered ‘Best in Class’ at using the Aeroseal duct sealing process.
Aeroseal Versus Other Solutions
From both a cost and efficacy perspective, Aeroseal duct sealing is the best way to go. Aeroseal duct sealing is far lower in cost than replacing ductwork and can be done in a fraction of the time. Aeroseal technology is superior in detecting leaks. Repairing leaky or dilapidated ducts manually with air duct sealant, duct tape, mastic or other adhesives, will not create airtight, durable seals.
The cost of Aeroseal duct sealing is typically recovered in 3 to 7 years. According to the US Department of Energy and several other sources, Aeroseal is one of the best, most cost effective energy saving solutions for property owners. Also, the tax code put into place at the end of 2017 indicates that investing in Aeroseal duct sealing can yield tax benefits.
Aeroseal Benefits
- Significantly reducing energy consumption and associated costs
- Improving indoor air quality
- Creating comfortable, even temperatures in all rooms
- Reducing odors and fumes
- Improved HVAC efficiency
Survey Says
A recent survey concluded that more than 74% of commissioning professionals agreed that most buildings have significant duct leakage.
Frequently Asked Questions About Aeroseal
Yes. Aeroseal sealant has been tested by independent laboratories and has been shown to have very low VOC emissions, making it safe for residential environments. During the sealing process, our technicians also take steps to protect electronics, furniture, pets, and artwork in the home.
There may be a very mild odor during the application, similar to craft glue. The smell typically dissipates within a few hours after the Aeroseal process is complete.
Not always. Many duct systems can be sealed without prior cleaning. Our technicians will inspect the condition of your ductwork first and recommend cleaning only if it is necessary.
Yes. Duct systems of all types can still be cleaned after Aeroseal duct sealing if needed in the future.
Aeroseal duct sealing is guaranteed for 10 years and has been tested to last for up to 40 years under normal conditions.
No. The Aeroseal process seals leaks without coating the entire duct system. Sealant particles are drawn only to the edges of leaks where escaping air is present, forming a durable seal.
The cost of Aeroseal duct sealing varies depending on the size of the home, the HVAC system, and the amount of duct leakage present. Most homeowners find that the cost is recovered through lower energy bills within 3–7 years due to improved HVAC efficiency.
- Rooms that are hotter or colder than others
- High heating or cooling bills
- Weak airflow from vents
- Excessive dust or allergy symptoms
A duct leakage test can determine how much air your system is losing.
