Home | Are Your Air Ducts Costing You Money?

Your air ducts shouldn’t cost you money, but they do!

Consider these findings
from studies
by the Department of Energy:

  • On average, 30 cents of every $1 spent on heating and cooling a home disappears into thin air due to leaky ducts.
  • 25% to 60% of heated and cooled air doesn’t make it to its intended room.
  • Duct leakage in homes costs homeowners $25 billion a year in utility costs.
  • About 50% of the average home’s utility bill is spent on heating and air conditioning.

Many homeowners don’t ever think about leaky air ducts, but the fact is they may be drastically reducing your home comfort and increasing your energy bills. Whether a home is old or new, leaky ducts cost homeowners money while putting undue stress on heating and air conditioning systems by forcing them to work harder than they need to. This can lead to shortened equipment lifespan, more frequent repairs, and sudden failure on the hottest or coldest days … which is when you need them the most.

Rooms in home with leaky ducts means some rooms are too hot while others are too cold

Comfort is More Than a Number on a Thermostat

Does your home have some rooms that are too hot, or others that are too cold?

Leaky ducts significantly contribute to the warmth and cooling of a home. Even the most energy-efficient heating and cooling systems cannot control the amount of comfort you experience in your living spaces if there are leaking ducts. The loss of cool and warm air to the wrong places inside, outside or in the unconditioned spaces of a home is virtually eliminated with Aeroseal duct sealing because our patented sealing technology seals the ducts airtight. With Aeroseal, hard to heat or cool rooms will have even temperatures and will be more comfortable. Humidity levels are also easier to control after an Aeroseal.

Consider these results from recent Aeroseal duct sealing jobs we’ve completed:

Create a Safer, Healthier Home

In addition to higher comfort levels and lower energy bills, Aeroseal duct sealing also results in a safer, healthier home. Why? Because heating and air conditioning systems often pull air from the dirtiest parts of your home, such as walls, attics and basements.

Indoor Air Quality

As a result, most household dust contains dust mites, mold, mildew, pollen, animal dander and rodent urine and feces. Many of these contaminants are recirculated through the air systems in your home, aggravating respiratory problems such as asthma and allergies, and spreading bacteria and viruses such as Strep Throat and the common cold.

In fact, poor indoor air quality has become one of the Top 5 Environmental Risks to Public Health, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

  • Leaks pull mold, dust and other pollutants into your home causing indoor air quality issues and have potential to create harmful allergy problems.
  • Leaks contribute to safety issues related to backdraft of appliance fumes, auto exhaust and radon gases being released into your home.

How does Aeroseal work?

With air ducts often tucked into ceilings, walls, attics and basements, your heating and air conditioning system can be difficult to access. Locating and addressing leaks one by one is time-consuming, inefficient and ineffective.

Without the proper training and tools, ductwork can easily be damaged.

Instead of relying on imperfect and outdated methods, Sanford Temperature Control offers our customers cutting-edge technology. With Aeroseal Duct Sealing, we cut down on time and expenses, avoid mess, and successfully eliminate up to 90% of air leakage … or more.

Using a computer-guided procedure, airborne adhesive particles are blown into ductwork, sealing cracks, holes and imperfections that allow air to escape, while filling openings up to one inch in diameter.

If you’d like to enjoy any of the following, then Aeroseal might be the solution for you.

  • Lower your energy bills
  • Prevent fumes and odors
  • Create healthier indoor air
  • Enhance comfort by maximizing airflow
  • Reduce the stress and workload on your HVAC
    system
  • Extend the lifespan of your equipment

    I thought Derek was polite. Courteous knew what he was doing. Got my furnace fixed in one day. I was very appreciative and because of his service I will now only use you guys going forward. He’s a great technician.

    I'm always impressed when a service provider takes the time to educate me about the product I bought. Eddie explained the protocols for maintaining my mini-splits
    , provided me with the knowledge that he brought to the inspection and showed me how to improve the longevity of the product. In the process he convinced me to extend my service.
    Good job -

    Eric, our Sanford tech, did wonderful as always. maintaining our beast of a heating system takes skill. He is prompt and kind gets the maintenance taken care of quickly. He doesn’t mind the annoying dogs or the beam that you have to duck under going up and down stairs.

    They check in the day before coming and Eric texts when on the way. He is always on time. We have been very happy with the work and the professionalism.

    This was my first time using Sanford. Derek was amazing. He diagnosed the problem quickly, showed me the problem, and then quoted me a price which was very reasonable. He had the part on the truck and had the problem fixed within a half hour. From the person I made the appointment with, Irish, to the dispatcher I spoke with for an estimated time of arrival, to Derek, my experience was nothing but positive. I had such a great experience that I will always use Sanford for my heating, cooling, and plumbing needs. Highly recommended!

    After Sanford did such an impressive job installing our new Bosch furnace last winter, it was a no brainer as to who we wanted to add a central air conditioner to our house.
    They gave us two options and we chose to go with a heat pump. Jason and his team did an incredible job installing the system in just a single day. The quality of their workmanship is second to none and he couldn’t be a nicer person to work with.
    Another great job by Sanford !

    We had Brian B come to our home to conduct a follow up visit to evaluate our Carrier AC that was installed in February. Just like the three-man crew who did the installation, Brian B did an outstanding job of making sure that everything was working just fine. He answered all our questions and made sure we were confident that our AC would be working fine this summer. Great job.

    Extremely happy with the service I received. Mike did an excellent job of servicing my HVAC system. He was very efficient, knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions. Also, the office personnel were very helpful and responsive to all my requests and questions regarding scheduling and pricing. I will be using them again and would highly recommend Mike.

    Excellent service. Arrived on time. Asked me questions to diagnose any possible issues. Explained several things I did not know about my system.

    Eric was very pleasant & thoroughly cleaned & diagnosed my system. Every Sanford employee with whom I have had dealings has been pleasant, attentive, and professional. A friend recommended Sanford to me & I recommend them to you as well. I have been very happy with my equipment & service & know I can contact them anytime with questions & concerns & they will respond in a timely manner. Thank you Eric!

    Our tech was great! He was respectful of the space (and rolled with the chaos of small kiddos running around like goons), knowledgeable, and efficient. We’ve used Sanford for years and will continue to do so.

    Kyle G. from Sanford was awesome and super respectful. They installed furnace and AC system. He explained everything without being condescending, helped set up the wireless system, checked it and his team cleaned up everything after the job. My standards are pretty high and Kyle not only met them, he exceeded them. Thank you.
