Are you curious about the safety of duct sealing? The answer is a definite yes! The ingredients used in duct sealant are the same as those found in hairspray and chewing gum, so you can be sure that it is safe to use. On the other hand, duct cleaning is often seen as a scam and not beneficial in terms of efficiency. Air leaks are one of the major causes of energy loss, and duct sealant can help to prevent this. Duct sealant is similar to the sealant used to repair a bicycle tube.
It is composed of polymers, long molecules that bond together and seal any cracks, holes, or misalignments in ducts. It also uses synthetic nanoparticles which are tiny particles that fit together to create an airtight seal. The application of sealants may affect the acoustic (noise) and fire retardant characteristics of ducts lined or constructed with fiberglass and may void the manufacturer's warranty. A professional contractor can clean air conditioning ducts and then apply an acrylic sealant and deodorizer.
Aeroseal duct sealant has a ten-year warranty, but it should not be confused with the much longer lifespan of the product. Before applying the sealant, it is important to seal air leaks with putty or metal tape and insulate any ducts that can be accessed (such as those in attics, tight spaces, unfinished basements, and garages).
This is the second part of the questions that both homeowners and contractors ask us about sealing ducts with Aeroseal in homes.
The package for the duct sealant has minimal labeling and does not show any active ingredients. Sealing your ducts can help to reduce dust in your home as they will collect less particulate matter, which extends the life of air filters.Additionally, the resistance of sealants to deterioration over time has not yet been evaluated, which could add particles to the air in the ducts. In conclusion, sealing your ducts with Aeroseal can make your home more comfortable, energy efficient, and safe. It can also help to improve the air supply capacity of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. So if you're looking for a way to make your home more efficient and comfortable, then duct sealing is definitely worth considering.
