Aeroseal: The Solution for Air Ducts? (Our Thoughts) | Ep. 109
You may have heard about a service called Aeroseal, which is designed to cover cracks and gaps in your heating and cooling system's ductwork. But does it really work?
That's what Evelyn, in Washington, is wondering. She recently learned that her air ducts have dust, and an HVAC professional suggested trying this product.
