The Benefits of Aeroseal
Since Aeroseal has been developed, it offers a litany of benefits that can help your HVAC system function and improve your air quality.
- Improve your air quality. Leaky ducts require more filter changes, contain more dust, pet dander, and can contain mold spores due to moisture being leaked through the system. Breathe easy knowing that your sealed ducts allow only fresh air to circulate through your home.
- Increased system performance. Leaky ducts are notorious for leaking heated or conditioned air into places where you can’t feel it. These leaky ducts can be responsible for up to 30% of your air being lost. This means your system has to work harder and you’re paying more money for the same effect!
- More comfort. If your ducts are leaking, then your air conditioner or heater might not have the power to keep your home comfortable. By sealing your ducts, you’re helping your system keep your home at the right temperature.
- Environmentally friendly. Sealing your ducts allows you to use less energy and keep your carbon footprint low.

Thermostats don’t seem like they cost much when they start breaking down, but they do. Homeowners often equate thermostats to television remotes, thinking that they’re just as important—but we’re here to tell you that this couldn’t be further from the truth. Thermostats, unlike your television remote, contribute regularly to the proper functioning of your heating system and can eventually save you money on energy costs.
When you go into your basement to observe your bathroom or kitchen plumbing, all of your pipes are tightly sealed and there isn’t any leaking water, right? Well, that’s for good reason! Leaking pipes waste water, destroy property, and lower water pressure!
We are always surprised by how little homeowners know about sump pumps. Not that it should be required to take a “Sump Pump 101” class in order to be a homeowner, but we’ve seen our fair share of basements that could really use a sump pump.
In the next few days, we all will experience temperatures and wind chills that our homes’ 
What does this mean, you may be wondering? Is my heater starting up? Sure it is. Is it generating heat? Well, yes. That would be a pretty obvious problem, and I don’t really need a blog post to tell me that a heater should be doing so.
If we were able to provide you with free heating, it would be our honor to do so. That’s just not a possibility, however—which is actually good for us, since giving away free heating probably wouldn’t be great for our finances. That being said, you certainly don’t want to be paying more than is necessary in order to heat your home. Too many homeowners write off their high heating costs as the norm, though, even though boost efficiency can be quite simple.
Winter brings a lot of challenges. It makes commutes tougher. It makes taking the dogs out for their walks tougher. Heck, it makes getting out of bed in the morning tougher. All that being said, it is easy to overlook some of the worst challenges that winter has to offer, including those affecting your plumbing system. You’d be remiss to do so, though. Why? Because if you wait for problems to take hold, you’re already in a world of trouble!
