Stricter building codes, home safety concerns, expectations of comfort & environmental impact are driving demand for building science technology.

​Did we mention we are Aeroseal dealers???

We are excited to be able to offer duct sealing to Williamsport and surrounding areas.  Aeroseal technology is about 20 years old and has been featured on “This Old House”, “Holmes & Holmes” “The Today Show” and YouTube’s “The Build Show”.  Aeroseal is a Vinyl Acetate Polymer (the same substance used in water-based paints, hairspray and chewing gums) that is pressurized and forced into ductwork, sealing up to 5/8” holes.   The sealant is not toxic and has been used in hospitals, schools and surgery centers.  It is guaranteed for 10 years in residential applications and has an expected life of at least 40 years.
In houses with forced air heating and cooling systems, ducts are used to distribute conditioned air throughout the house.  But in typical houses, about 20%-40% of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes and poorly connected ducts.  The result is higher utility bills and difficulty keeping the house comfortable, no matter how the thermostat is set.
With Aeroseal, the results are instant.  Once we connect the system to the ductwork, the Aeroseal system runs a pretest that pressurizes the duct system and provides a leakage reading on the computer.  It will detect the exact amount of duct leakage in the duct system.  The patented aerosol sealant is injected as a mist into the ductwork.  Holes and cracks in the duct system are found by the pressurization.  The aerosol particles collect on the edges of holes and cracks in the ductwork to seal them from the inside. 
This entire process is computer controlled so homeowners can monitor the progress in real-time and watch the minute by minute reduction in leakage.  Upon completion, the homeowner is presented with verifiable proof of the seal in the form of a computer-generated certificate, which includes before and after results of the Aeroseal application.

for homeowners

For homeowners:  Matthew is BPI certified to help homeowners pinpoint exactly what about their home is dangerous or making them uncomfortable.  His most important task is teaching clients why testing is important and what it means.  The four elements of home Performance in an ascending order of importance are (4) Heat flow, (3) Air flow & pressure, (2) moisture, and (1) air quality & safety.  Matt has a lot of equipment and will spend hours in the home reviewing each floor and room, each appliance and fixture, as well as evaluate hot and cold spots and give a detailed report on opportunities of improvement. ​

​For builders:  Newly adopted codes for residential construction now require that all home builders have a passing blower door test and duct leakage test prior to an occupancy permit being issued.  Airflow Tactics can provide these services to builders.  We can get the results quickly and accurately and provide a report of the performance.  We know that time is money and if the duct system fails, we can provide Aeroseal duct sealing to get your ducts into compliance.
