Are you a homeowner who:
According to the US Department of Energy, 95% of homes have this one problem that's dirtying your indoor air quality.
You can smell the pollen in the air, sleeping is an issue, or even your kids seem restless at night.
Maybe you've tried getting an air purifier, but it doesn't seem to help much.
You dust, you clean, and you air things out, but nothing you do seems to make a difference.
This is going to sound extreme, but this is from Harvard and the EPA.
Poor indoor air quality can lead to Sick Building Syndrome, a chronic condition with symptoms ranging from headaches, eye, nose, and throat irritation, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea.
In addition to that level of discomfort, it can lead to reduced productivity and impaired learning.
We don't want that to happen to you or your family.
It was happening to Mary, until she found Aeroseal.
"My house is now my fortress and my refuge. They found a solution to a problem that several doctors couldn't solve."
What is she talking about?
Nearly every home in the U.S., old and new, has dust buildup in their duct work.
Like this:
You may not even know how much it's affecting air quality in your home until you FEEL the difference.
So different that you forgot what it was like when parts of your house were getting too hot while others were getting too cold.
So different that you're breathing through the night and waking up ultra-refreshed with clear sinuses.
So different that your next energy bill is 40% less.
BUT it's not just dust that's seeping in.
Have you ever walked past a part of your house, get a whiff of something foul as you stroll by, then double back to find the source only to be left wondering what that was?
Your ducts travel through some pretty yucky places like attics, crawlspaces, and interior walls, which supply leaky ducts with allergens, smelly odors, and moisture.
And sometimes those odors just waft into your living spaces uninvited. Rude.
90% of your life is spent indoors—breathing all that in.
The bottom line is that clean AND sealed ducts will keep the dust and pollen outside while preventing interior wall dirt from being blown into the house.
But sealing your ducts is a huge project, expensive, labor-intensive, and difficult to get consistent results with traditional methods.
Aeroseal is an innovative technology that seals the cracks and holes in your air vent system from the inside, making your home healthy, safe and comfortable, enhancing the performance of your air conditioning and heating system while improving the environment and saving you money at the same time.
This "goo" is an eco-friendly polymer that's completely non-toxic and has no off-gassing.
It seals your ductwork up to 95%, so that there are less pathogens, allergens, and pollen entering your home.
Servicing Durango, CO and the 4 corners.
You're probably wondering, "Okay, how does it work and how much does it cost?"
Good questions. Our service is $2,850, done in a few hours by our friendly, professional technicians. It doesn't include cleaning or repairing your ductwork if needed, but we can help with that too.
However, keep reading, because you'll want to know about this:
Because 40% of the air your furnace and/or air conditioner is treating doesn't even make it inside your home, sealing them means you could save up to 40% on your energy bills.
The average energy bill in the 4 Corners area is over $175, which means you could be saving up to $840 per year.
Starting in 2023, you can get up to a $1,200 tax credit, every year through 2032, simply for having your ductwork sealed if it meets the green energy requirements.
And our services always do—we'll give you the printed results to prove it.
Which means, in 2-years, not only can you can make up the cost, but you can actually gain up to $720 by claiming the tax credit for those 2 years (it's like the child tax credit).
And you can continue to claim up to $1,200 per year until 2032.

Jason Hartman is a home builder, craftsman, and project manager who has managed hundreds of build projects for over 20 years with a focus on total customer satisfaction.
We discovered one of the biggest problems with home building was sealing the home (not just the ductwork), which has always been a difficult task in our efforts to build green, net-zero homes. However, once we discovered the Aeroseal technology, that all changed.
Call us and we'll send out a technician to inspect your ductwork, make recommendations, and provide a thorough, written proposal.
Schedule a day and a time that works for you, Monday-Friday.
Our trained technicians setup equipment and perform the Aeroseal service, which lasts a few hours.
After the service, you get a detailed, printed report that will show you the difference.
The magic happens with the combination of our smart technology and our simple and safe sealing formula.
Our computer-enabled smart technology evaluates the exact amount of leakage in the system and targets all of the cracks and leaks—even the ones you can’t see and can’t reach—so they can be filled with precision.
The sealing formula itself is safe, non-toxic and made of the same material that is found in chewing gum and (baby pacifiers). Equally importantly, our process is so precise that it only uses the amount of sealant that is necessary, with virtually no waste.
PLUS, Aeroseal doesn’t coat your whole air vent system, it focuses on just the cracks and leaks and fills them.
We'll do our absolute best to fit your duct cleaning and sealing service around your schedule.
And if you have any comments please let us know.
Yes! Sealing your vents and ducts means that air is delivered where it’s needed, and not into your basement, attic or crawl space. This also helps get rid of hot and cold spots in your house.
Absolutely! Leaky ducts and vents pull in dust, mold and dander and then blow them into living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens. Gross, right? Our system can reduce leaky areas by as much as 90%, making sure dirt isn’t circulated in your house.
A lot! Independent government-sponsored studies have shown that sealing your ducts can save you up to $850 per year! Most homeowners save at least 20%, some save as much as 40% of their total bill. Exact energy savings are difficult to predict, since they depend on where you live, how old your house is, how up to date your system is, how many rooms you need to heat or cool, and how energy costs are calculated in your area.
Primary component is Vinyl Acetate Polymer, used in water based paints, hair spray, baby pacifiers, and chewing gum.
Without a doubt. Our formula is safe, non-toxic and water-soluble, made of the same material that is found in chewing gum and baby pacifiers. It is so safe, we’ve helped hospitals, surgery centers, schools and public buildings make sure their air is clean, healthy and comfortable – and saved them energy and money in the process.
Drying time is less than 2 hours.
There is a mild odor, like Elmer’s Glue, during sealing. Odor should dissipate by next morning (or before).
We prefer no one is in the house during sealing due to impact on productivity. If you are pregnant, senior, or infant, or utilizing medical equipment we do encourage you to leave as a simple safety precaution.
Aeroseal is able to close most cracks and leaks in most air duct systems. Any large, major leaks—like broken, disconnected or damaged ducts—will need to be repaired prior to sealing. Most of the time, we uncover problems like this during our initial inspection. However, if we find this during our sealing process, we will stop our service and recommend a solution.
We guarantee our work for at least 10 years, and we’ve stress-tested it up to 40 years in homes. We expect your heating and cooling systems to work efficiently for as long as you own your home.
Sealant escaping from the ducts will settle in wall cavities, attics or crawl spaces. During the process, we will filter the air to capture any sealant entering the living areas.
We recommend sensitive electronics be covered.
Technician is trained to protect all accessories prior to sealing. Some items, such as humidifiers or UV lights, may be removed then reinstalled to prevent damage; others may be bagged or covered.
Sometimes, but not always. Any ducts that are extremely dirty should be cleaned first. We find this most often in older houses. Our technician will take a look at this during the initial inspection, and recommend a cleaning if needed.
Yes. Ducts from all types of materials can be successfully cleaned after being sealed. Our formula dries into a very hard, very durable substance.
No. Our formula doesn’t coat or line your ducts. The only sealant remaining after our technician is done will be over the leak that was sealed.
Duct sealing, utilizing the patented Aeroseal process, takes a non-toxic liquid sealant, heats and dries it to become an aerosol mist. The mist travels through a pressurized duct system and seals visible, invisible, and inaccessible leaks in the system. We guarantee it and it is certified.
According to the Department of Energy 95% of homes in the U.S. have leaky ductwork and they leak between 25% and 40%. In simple terms, that means air is not getting to designed spaces causing hot/cold spots in the house, excessive dust, and high energy bills.
