Home Energy Services in Savannah, GA

Sometimes known simply as HVAC, heating, ventilation and air conditioning are extremely important to a home's comfort, efficiency and safety. When we perform an energy audit or assessment on a home, we are looking at how air and heat move throughout the living spaces. When we notice areas that handle your heat or air ineffectively, we recommend measures to help you gain control. The first step to gaining control is sealing up air leaks and ensuring that insulation is effective across the entire thermal barrier to the outside. Once a home's envelope is sealed and insulated we focus on the mechanical side of things--the home's heating, ventilation and air conditioning.

Air Conditioning

Keeping your home cool isn't just about pumping as much cool are in as possible. It's about making sure you have the right system for your specific home and making sure that cool, expensive air goes where you want it to. A home with too much AC will often feel cool and clammy, as the unit pumps in too much cool air without pulling enough moisture out of the air. You will also pay more for a more powerful system. If a system is too small, you will also end up paying more for less comfort. An overworked system is less efficient and more susceptible to a break down. We can help you size your system and get the most out of the energy that goes into cooling the air, bring you comfort for less!

Ventilation

It is important for your ventilation, which includes your ductwork, to be clean and well sealed. When we talk about comfort, health and efficiency, your ventilation plays a big role. Clean ventilation and ductwork contributes to a healthy living environment by keeping your indoor air clean and fresh. Sealing your ventilation and ducts properly means more of your conditioned air reaches you lived in spaces, which means your heating and cooling systems do not need to work as hard. This saves you money in operating costs, increases your comfort and increases the life spans of your systems.

Heating

Much like air conditioning, heating starts at the building envelope to ensure that the heat generated makes as big an impact as possible. Once the system as a whole is efficient, we look to your heating equipment to see if it is able to provide optimal comfort within that system. If it can, great! Efficiency and comfort has been enhanced at a low cost. If it can't, we'll evaluate your options and provide recommendations for a system that will fit your home, enhance your comfort and do so efficiently.

Duct Cleaning Service in Savannah, GA

At Aeroseal of the Lowcountry, we care about you and your family and want to help reduce the allergens, mold and other irritants in your home.  Here are a few things you can do to help you breathe easier.

Indoor Air Quality

In recent years, homeowners and businesses have started to pay attention to Indoor air quality. Aeroseal of The Lowcountry not only cleans the system, but we offer real solutions to fix the source of the contaminants.

Normal use of our builings generate many contaminants like dander, dust, pollen and other VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds). According to NADCA, these contaminants are pulled into the system and recirculated between 5 to 7 times per day. This constant cycle combined with poor filtration and duct leakage causes build-up of contaminants in the duct system. In a typical size home, up to 40 pounds of dust is created annually through everyday living.

While dirty HVAC ducts don’t necessarily mean unhealthy air in your home, school or workplace, they may be harboring contaminants that could cause health issues.

Energy Savings

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating or cooling a home is wasted. Contaminants in the heating and cooling system cause it to work harder and shorten the life of your system. Although filters are used, the heating and cooling system still gets dirty through normal use.

When an HVAC system is clean, it doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain the temperature you desire. As a result, less energy is used, leading to improved cost-effectiveness and better indoor air quality. Let Aeroseal Of The Lowcountry do detailed inspection of your system today.

Types Of Duct Cleaning

Contact Cleaning

Contact cleaning uses a powerful machine that has a hose and brush assembly that is pushed through the air system. As the brush rotates and disturbs the debris, it is immediately drawn into the hose. The hose and brush must be pushed through the entire system to remove all the debris.

Negative Air Cleaning

Negative air cleaning involves placing a powerful vacuum machine at one end of an air system by attaching it to a return or supply vent using a 10 inch hose. The rest of the vents are plugged and the machine is turned on, thus creating the negative air pressure in the duct system. Debris that is light or has not adhered to the surface of the ducts is immediately drawn into the machine.

To remove larger debris or debris that has adhered to the surface of the ducts, a rotating brush or compressed air is sent through the system through one vent at a time. The brush or compressed air disturbs and dislodges the debris so it can be sent down the system into the negative air machine to be collected.

AC Duct Sealing in Savannah, GA

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, a typical home loses roughly 20% of the conditioned air in the duct system through duct leakage.  Although duct leaks are often never seen, they affect our lives everyday.

Have you experienced any of these problems?

• High Utility Bills
• Comfort Issues In Your Home
• Excessive Dust / Fumes
• Allergies / Breathing Issues In Your Home

Sealing your duct system can help battle all of the problems above. Improving the ducts properly allows air to be delivered to each room. A leaky duct system also allows unconditioned and unfiltered air to join the airstream. Excessive humidity, spores, dust, pollutants, and other allergens all find their way into your environment.

 Advantages of a properly sealed and filtered duct system:

• Energy Savings
• Reduced Need For Cleaning
• Improved Comfort
• Extended Equipment Life
• Enhanced Air Quality

More information on the problems associated with duct leakage can be found on the EPA website.

Traditional Duct Sealing

For accessible duct systems, traditional sealing can be very effective. This is done manually, through the use of professional grade tape, caulk, & other liquid sealants by our skilled technicians. Many times we use the duct testing equipment to help identify areas and leak, then check our work when its completed! We believe "Test...Don't Guess!"

Aeroseal of the Lowcountry Duct Sealing

A fine aerosol mist of sealant particles is injected, traveling through out the entire system locating & sealing the leakage. Unlike traditional sealing, which requires access to all ducts, Aeroseal of the Lowcountry requires only one injection point to seal the duct system.
