Aeroseal Duct Sealing for Alberta Homes
If one room in your home is always cold, the basement feels drafty, or your furnace seems to run forever in January, there's a good chance you're losing conditioned air through leaky ductwork. Aeroseal seals those leaks from the inside, so the air you pay to heat and cool actually reaches your rooms.
What Is Aeroseal?
Aeroseal is an advanced duct sealing process that targets the small gaps and leaks hidden inside your duct system. In a lot of Alberta homes, especially ones with ducts running through unfinished basements, attics, or soffits, air leakage is more common than people realize.
Aeroseal seals those leaks by circulating a safe, non-toxic sealant through your ductwork. The sealant finds the leaks and seals them precisely from the inside out, without tearing into drywall or guessing where the problem is.
What Leaky Ducts Cost You
- Higher utility bills, because you're paying to heat or cool air that never reaches your rooms
- Hot and cold spots around the house
- More dust and poor airflow
- Extra wear on your furnace, AC, or heat pump
- Longer run times and noisier operation
Why Duct Sealing Matters in Alberta
Alberta winters are no joke, and when it's minus 20 Celsius and the wind is ripping, duct leakage can really show up in your comfort and your bills. Even in newer builds, duct joints can shift, connections can loosen, and small gaps can add up over time. Aeroseal helps your system deliver the air where it's supposed to go, instead of dumping it into an attic or crawlspace you're not living in.
Benefits of Duct Sealing
Better energy efficiency
When your ducts are tight, less conditioned air is wasted. Your HVAC system doesn't have to work as hard to maintain temperature.
More even comfort
No more one bedroom freezing while the living room roasts. Sealed ducts help reduce hot and cold spots throughout the home.
Stronger airflow where you need it
If certain vents barely blow, duct leaks can be part of the issue. Aeroseal improves delivery and balance across the home.
Lower strain on your equipment
A furnace or heat pump fighting to keep up wears out faster. Sealed ducts can help reduce run time and stress on the system.
A cleaner, healthier home
Leaky ducts can pull dust in from attics, basements, or wall cavities. Tight ducts help reduce that drift and improve indoor air quality.
Is Aeroseal Right for Your Home?
Aeroseal can be a great fit if you're dealing with:
- Uneven temperatures between rooms
- A furnace that runs constantly in winter
- Weak airflow from certain vents
- Dusty rooms even after cleaning
- A home that just never feels balanced
Frequently Asked Questions
Sometimes, but it's not an automatic yes, and it depends on your municipality and how the upgrade is categorized. In some cases, duct-related work can be accepted when it's tied to eligible HVAC upgrades and documented properly, a bundled approach that varies by municipality and project rules. CEIP also has a custom upgrades pathway in certain municipalities, but it's more involved and typically requires engineering confirmation and approval. We confirm what's realistic for your address during your estimate.
Common signs include rooms that are hard to heat or cool, high heating and cooling bills relative to your home size, weak airflow from certain vents, and dusty rooms even after cleaning. If your furnace runs constantly in winter or one part of the house never feels balanced, leaky ductwork is often the reason.
Most residential Aeroseal jobs are completed in a single day, depending on home size and duct system complexity. The process includes an initial diagnostic to measure leakage, the sealing itself, and a final measurement so you have before and after numbers.
The sealant used in the Aeroseal process is a safe, non-toxic material designed specifically for sealing ductwork from the inside. It's applied through your existing duct system without tearing into drywall or ceilings.
