AEROSEAL DUCT SEALING IN LOS ANGELES
Seal leaking HVAC duct systems, improve building efficiency, and meet California Title 24 duct leakage requirements.
What is Aeroseal Duct Sealing?
Aeroseal is a patented technology developed that seals air leaks inside HVAC duct systems.
Instead of manually sealing ducts from the outside, Aeroseal injects microscopic sealant particles into the duct system. Escaping air draws these particles to the edges of leaks, where they accumulate and seal the opening.
The process allows technicians to seal leaks in hidden ductwork located behind ceilings, walls, and mechanical spaces.
Aeroseal Process
1️⃣ Duct Leakage Test
Technicians measure the amount of air leaking from the HVAC duct system.
2️⃣ System Preparation
The duct system is isolated and connected to the Aeroseal equipment.
3️⃣ Aeroseal Application
Sealant particles are injected into the duct system and drawn to leakage points.
4️⃣ Verification Test
Software verifies the reduction in duct leakage after sealing.
This process provides measurable results and documentation of improved duct performance.
Commercial & Industrial Facilities Lose Significant Energy Through Leaking Duct Systems
HVAC duct leakage is one of the most common causes of energy waste in commercial and industrial facilities. Studies show HVAC systems can lose up to 30% of conditioned air through duct leaks, reducing system efficiency and increasing operating costs.
For building owners, facility managers, engineers, and industrial operators, duct leakage can create challenges such as:
- Title 24 duct leakage compliance issues
- Commissioning or inspection failures
- Uneven airflow and temperature imbalance
- Energy loss and increased HVAC operating costs
Aeroseal Helps Meet California Title 24 Duct Leakage Requirements
California Title 24 energy standards require HVAC duct systems to meet strict leakage limits to improve building efficiency.
Aeroseal duct sealing helps commercial and industrial facilities:
- Reduce duct leakage
- Meet duct leakage testing requirements
- Improve HVAC system performance
- Support energy compliance goals
Aeroseal technology seals duct leaks from the inside of the system, making it possible to improve duct tightness without replacing ductwork or opening walls and ceilings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aeroseal
Does Aeroseal help with Title 24 compliance?
Aeroseal duct sealing helps reduce duct leakage so HVAC systems can meet the duct tightness requirements of California Title 24 energy standards.
How long does Aeroseal last?
Aeroseal duct sealing is guaranteed for 10 years and has been tested to last for decades under normal conditions.
Can Aeroseal seal hidden ductwork?
Yes. Because Aeroseal seals ducts from the inside, it can seal leaks in ductwork located behind ceilings, walls, and mechanical spaces.
Will Aeroseal disrupt building operations?
Most Aeroseal projects can be completed with minimal disruption to building occupants and operations.

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.

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.
