Air leaks can be a big, expensive issue for homeowners. They can be hard to locate and even harder to seal without the right solution. But there are several signs to look for to see if a home is leaking air. A drafty home is the most obvious sign that one has air leaks. But don’t assume they are due to the home’s doors or windows. Research shows that only 20 percent of home air leaks are from doors and windows. Signs for air leaks The following are signs that suggest a house may h...
The HVAC system of any building plays a crucial role in helping users maintain comfort and happiness in their home. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is responsible for controlling the airflow inside a building. It can be an incredibly complex maze of twisting, turning pipes and vents that are very hard to access and maintain once installed. For this reason, it’s crucial to get things right during the installation and “rough in” period. The HVAC rou...
With a simpler, modular design, the AeroBarrier Connect air sealing system makes setup, sealing, and cleanup faster and more efficient than ever before. In fact, it allows builders, contractors, and energy raters to seal more buildings each day, with precise, measured results that always pass inspection. “This is a complete redesign, driven by extensive customer feedback and field performance data,” said Amit Gupta, CEO of AeroBarrier’s parent company, Aeroseal, LLC. “O...
Shared walls, or party walls, between multifamily homes are an issue for builders and homeowners alike. They are more difficult to air seal effectively, leading to issues when trying to meet code. Sealing party wall leaks is called compartmentalization. And research from the University of Toronto shows up to 20 percent of a neighbors’ air can transfer into a home through a shared wall. That’s why sounds and smells seem to infiltrate multifamily homes so easily. Solution...
When it comes to measuring the airtightness of a home or building, and how much air is leaking into it, a blower door test is the universally accepted method. It’s why AeroBarrier uses the test as part of its air sealing process. A structure’s air change rate, or ACH, establishes a baseline of leakage before air sealing. During the AeroBarrier process, their software monitors the ACH as the technology seals leaks in the building envelope and dials in a precise level of airtight...

Aeroseal’s participation not only showcased our proven technology but also reinforced the position as a foundational solution for optimizing energy efficiency in buildings and meeting sustainability standards in...
There’s an old saying that fish don’t realize they’re wet because it’s all they know. People are the same way when it comes to thinking about the air all around them. Air is a fluid, just like water. Sure, everyone feels the wind, and since the very first shelters, humans have built buildings to block it out. When it comes to stack effect, though, it’s a bit less obvious than the wind, and users probably don’t think much about it. If they did, they woul...
When they discuss home energy savings, they’re typically referring to conventionally constructed homes. However, many Americans live in mobile homes — nearly 10 million to be exact. Mobile home residents deal with many of the same energy and climate control issues as traditional residents, with often even more challenges due to smaller size and exposure to the elements. Many of these challenges arise from a hidden culprit — air duct leakage. Mobile Home A...
As they head into a new year, the future of government regulations affecting environmentally friendly building practices is up for grabs. For green building proponents, however, the White House is not the be-all, end-all when it comes to industry practice. In fact, states like California, Illinois, and Washington, as well as industry organizations such as ASHRAE and the International Code Council (ICC) continue to push for building standards that prioritize energy efficiency. Proper air distri...
Home’s ductwork is vital for comfort, health, and safety. When it comes to keeping the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, the ductwork will be doing the heavy lifting. Ductwork is the piping and connective tissue that connects from the furnace to every room in the house. The setup of the ductwork might seem simple enough, but it’s actually a bit more complicated than it might seem. Large percentage of homeowners A large percentage of homeowners have leaks in thei...
No matter what kind of building they own, it’s almost certainly going to have an HVAC system in place. The HVAC system of any building is designed to maintain the indoor air and keep it at a comfortable level. Not only does this mean heating or cooling the air to the level set by whoever is operating the thermostat, but it also means filtering air and keeping the indoor air of the building free from outside pollutants that might contaminate it. Effectiveness of the HVAC system If the HV...

Why is there ductwork at all? Why can’t they just set that HVAC unit in the middle of the home and turn it on? Those that are closest to it will enjoy that conditioned air. And those that are furthest away? They won’t. If they’re not delivering and retrieving air from various spaces, they’re essentially just huddling around a fire like they did thousands of years ago. They've come a long way, and they've learned why quality ductwork matters. What Is Ductwork? Ductwork...

An HVAC system is an essential part of any home or building. The HVAC system is made to help control the temperature conditions within a building to create a comfortable environment through heating and cooling the space. Energy-efficient HVAC units require less energy to work, which means they’ll spend less money on energy bills in the short and long run. Learn how Aeroseal can help they achieve significant energy savings when it comes to the home's heating and air conditioning syste...
During summer and winter months, energy bills tend to, unsurprisingly, go up as HVAC systems are put to work. However, while small increases are common and nothing to be concerned with, if the utility bill seems unusually high, and the temperature is still uncomfortable, they may have a problem. When a home is using more energy to attempt to heat or cool a home, and it isn’t working, it could be a sign that there are issues with the air ducts in the home. While there are many website...

In this blog post, they will delve into the intricacies of Energy Star HVAC requirements, shedding light on how they play a pivotal role in creating a more energy-efficient and eco-friendly...
They’ve probably noticed that they’re not getting the airflow out of the vents that they should be. Maybe they have rooms that are hotter than others. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that not enough air is being pushed through the ducts and into rooms further away from the unit. So, the next logical leap would be that they need a bigger, and more expensive, air conditioner so all that air gets pushed through, right? Well, most likely not. Sure, someone will sell one to them, an...
Walking into a room not knowing anybody can be intimidating, especially if they’re part of a minority. March is Women’s History Month, and historically, women have been represented in much smaller numbers than men in STEM fields. That’s why they’re spotlighting an initiative within NAESCO that’s changing the narrative for women in energy. NAESCO, the National Association of Energy Service Companies, traditionally represents a sector where women’s voices have...

Most Common Air Leak Offenders Bottom plate to subfloor connections – Framing gaps on uneven concrete or wood expansion over time. Duct and plumbing penetrations – Poorly sealed openings where mechanicals pass through walls, floors, and ceilings. Electrical panel and wiring – A major leakage point that gets overlooked. Attic hatches, can lights, and bath fans – Big weak spots that we assume are fine but usually aren’t. Dead spaces behind tubs and fireplaces &...
