Most homes and businesses in Mesa lose 20-30% of their conditioned air through leaks in the ductwork – that’s money literally blowing away every time your air conditioner or heater runs. We’ve been sealing ducts the old-fashioned way for years, but once we started using Aeroseal, everything changed. It’s the cleanest, fastest, and honestly the most effective way we’ve found to make your HVAC system work like it should.
Why Your Ducts Are Probably Leaking (And Why It Matters in Mesa)
You know those triple-digit summers we get here? Your air conditioner is fighting harder than ever, and if the ducts have even small leaks, a huge chunk of that cool air never makes it to your living room. Same thing in winter with the furnace – warm air escapes into the attic or crawl space before it ever warms you up.
It shows up as higher SRP or APS bills, rooms that never feel quite comfortable, and your system running way more than it should. Dust from attics gets pulled in too, which doesn’t help anyone breathing in the house.
How Mesa’s heat and dust make it worse
Our extreme temperature swings cause duct joints and connections to expand, contract, and slowly open up over time. Add in the fine desert dust that works its way into every crack, and those leaks just keep getting bigger. We see it on practically every service call.
What Exactly Is Aeroseal Duct Sealing?
Aeroseal is a patented technology developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and now used all over the world. Here’s the simple version: we temporarily seal off your registers, inject a safe, UL-tested aerosol sealant into the duct system, and the tiny particles find every hole, crack, and seam – then stick only where air is escaping. The result? Leaks sealed from the inside, often reducing leakage by 90% or more in just a few hours.
No tearing open walls. No messy mastic smeared everywhere. Just science doing the hard work while you relax.
Signs Your Home or Business Needs Duct Sealing
Wondering if this is actually your problem? Here are the clues we hear from customers all the time:
- Uneven temperatures – one room is freezing while another feels like outside
- High energy bills that keep climbing even though nothing else changed
- Excessive dust on furniture shortly after cleaning
- Your HVAC runs constantly but the house never quite feels right
- Tangled air filters that get dirty way too fast
- Strange noises (whistling or whooshing) coming from vents
If two or more of those sound familiar, there’s a pretty good chance leaky ducts are part of the issue.
Our Aeroseal Process – Step by Step
We’ve fine-tuned this over hundreds of jobs in the East Valley. Here’s exactly what happens when you book with us:
- We run a computerized duct leakage test to measure the problem (you get the exact numbers).
- Block off registers with special covers and prep the system.
- Inject the Aeroseal sealant while software monitors progress in real time.
- Watch the leakage drop – usually hour by hour – until we hit the target.
- Print you a certificate showing before-and-after results.
- Clean up (there’s almost nothing to clean) and remove the temporary blocks.
Most homes are done in 4-6 hours. Businesses might take a little longer depending on size.
Before & After: What Real Customers in Mesa Are Seeing
| Before Aeroseal | After Aeroseal |
|---|---|
| 38% total duct leakage | Under 4% leakage |
| $340 average summer bill | $240–$270 most months |
| Master bedroom always hot | Even comfort throughout |
| AC ran 18–20 hours a day | Runs about 10–12 hours |
| Dusty shelves every week | Noticeably less dust |
These aren’t cherry-picked numbers – they’re typical for the Mesa homes we’ve treated.
How Much Can You Actually Save?
Most of our customers see their HVAC energy use drop 20-40%. On a $300 summer bill, that’s real money back in your pocket every month. Plus your air conditioner and furnace last longer because they’re not working overtime anymore.
Duct Sealing vs. Traditional Methods
| Aeroseal | Traditional Sealing |
|---|---|
| Seals from the inside – reaches every leak | Only seals what techs can see and reach |
| No demolition or wall patching | Often requires opening ceilings/walls |
| Computer-measured results guaranteed | Hard to verify completeness |
| Usually one-day job | Can take days or weeks |
| 10-year warranty on the seal | Warranty varies, often shorter |
That might sound odd, but once you see Aeroseal in action, the difference is night and day.
Frequently Asked Questions Behind Aeroseal in Mesa
