In Saskatoon, the winters are long, and the summers are warm; maintaining optimal indoor air quality is paramount for comfort and well-being. Many residents and business owners have relied on Breathe Better Indoor Air Quality, a Trusted Saskatoon duct and furnace cleaning business operated by David Dram. Now, there's an exciting addition to their suite of services: AeroSeal duct sealing.

What is AeroSeal duct sealing, and why is it generating buzz among homeowners and commercial property managers? It is a new service in David’s quest to “Make indoor spaces a better place to breathe.” Let's review the benefits and significance of this innovative solution.

The Science Behind AeroSeal Duct Sealing

AeroSeal is a cutting-edge technology designed to address a common issue in HVAC systems: air leakage through ductwork joints and gaps. Even in well-maintained systems, tiny holes and cracks can develop over time, leading to significant energy loss and decreased indoor air quality.  Even brand-new systems have air leakage, which significantly benefits new homeowners who want to maximize energy efficiency. AeroSeal works by pressurizing the ductwork and injecting a polymer-based sealant that adheres to the edges of these gaps, effectively sealing them from the inside out. The result? A more efficient HVAC system and improved indoor air quality.

Aeroseal Benefits for Residential and Commercial Properties

1. Enhanced Energy Efficiency:

By sealing ductwork leaks, AeroSeal helps prevent conditioned air from escaping into unconditioned spaces, such as attics or crawl spaces. This means your HVAC system doesn't have to work as hard to maintain the desired temperature, resulting in lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.

2. Improved Indoor Air Quality:

Leaky ducts can introduce dust, allergens, and pollutants from outside into your living or working space. A leaky crawl space duct also brings that stale crawl space air into your living space. AeroSeal creates a barrier that prevents these contaminants from entering the duct system, ensuring that the air circulated throughout your property is cleaner and healthier. 

3. Consistent Comfort:

Sealed ductwork means better airflow distribution, eliminating hot and cold spots within your home or commercial building. Every home has that one cold room at the end of the hall! Whether it's a cozy living room or a productive office space, AeroSeal helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout, enhancing comfort for occupants. 

4. Extended HVAC Lifespan:

Air leaks can strain HVAC components unnecessarily, leading to premature wear and tear. By optimizing airflow and reducing system workload, AeroSeal helps prolong the lifespan of your heating and cooling equipment, saving you money on repairs and replacements in the long run.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially concerning the health and comfort of building occupants. Indoor air quality can be affected by gases, particulates, mould, bacteria, or any mass or energy stressors. Indoor air quality can be improved quickly with the proper treatments; our solutions and services include the installation of air filters, heat recovery ventilators, UV lights, duct cleaning, and other filters.

Good indoor air quality is important for maintaining a healthy and comfortable living or working space. Here are some key points to consider regarding indoor air quality:

1. Importance of Indoor Air Quality: Indoor air quality can directly impact human health and well-being. Poor IAQ can contribute to various health issues, including allergies, asthma, respiratory problems, headaches, fatigue, and more. Additionally, poor IAQ can affect productivity, concentration, and overall comfort levels.

2. Common Indoor Air Pollutants: Indoor air can contain various pollutants, including:

• Particulate Matter: Dust, pollen, pet dander, mould spores, and other fine particles that can be inhaled.
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Chemicals emitted by certain building materials, furniture, cleaning products, and other sources.
• Biological Contaminants: Mold, bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that can thrive in damp or poorly maintained environments.
• Radon: A naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into buildings from the ground.
• Tobacco Smoke: Secondhand smoke can significantly degrade indoor air quality.

3. Sources of Indoor Air Pollutants: Indoor air pollutants can originate from both indoor and outdoor sources. Common indoor sources include inadequate ventilation, household cleaning products, building materials, carpets, furniture, cooking activities, and personal care products. Outdoor sources include vehicle emissions, industrial pollution, and pollen.

4. Improving Indoor Air Quality:

• Adequate Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in your home or workplace. Open windows when weather permits, use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms and consider installing mechanical ventilation systems.
• Regular Cleaning: Keep your living or working environment clean and free from dust, pet dander, and other allergens. Vacuum regularly with a HEPA filter, dust surfaces, and clean bedding frequently.
• Avoid Smoking: Establish a smoke-free indoor environment and discourage smoking near entrances to prevent the entry of secondhand smoke.
• Control Moisture: Address any sources of moisture, such as leaks or excessive humidity, to prevent the growth of mold and mildew. Use dehumidifiers if necessary.
• Use Low VOC Products: Choose building materials, furniture, and cleaning products with low VOC emissions. Look for products labelled as "low VOC" or "environmentally friendly."
• Regular HVAC Maintenance: Maintain and clean your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system regularly to prevent the accumulation of dust and debris. Change filters as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Indoor Plants: Incorporate indoor plants that can help improve air quality by absorbing certain pollutants and releasing oxygen.

5. Professional Assessments: If you have concerns about indoor air quality or suspect specific issues, consider hiring Razor to conduct an indoor air quality assessment. We can identify potential sources of pollution, measure pollutant levels, and provide recommendations for improvement.

Remember, improving indoor air quality is an ongoing effort. Regular maintenance, ventilation, and attention to potential sources of pollution are key to maintaining a healthy indoor environment.
