[quote=Anonymous]Has any one had their ducts sealed using the Aeroseal technology?  It was recommended to us by our energy auditor as a way to make temperatures more consistent throughout our house.  Right now we often have a 4-5 degree difference between the thermostat temp on the first floor and the actual temp upstairs.  (We only have a one zone system.)  He thinks we could have enough leakage throughout the duct system that we're losing a lot of air into the walls and floor joists before it even makes it upstairs.

The auditor said our house is well insulated and that we're within the the recommended level for having our house sealed to the outside.  So the best way to improve our comfort levels from upstairs to downstairs is to work on improvements within the envelope of the house.  It seems to me that Aeroseal could be a good idea, but it's expensive enough (about $1,800) that I want to be sure we're not getting sold something we don't need.

I did a search on DCUM and came up with a few positive comments about Aeroseal, but at least two seemed to be from the same poster.  I'm hoping to get input from a few more people to get a better idea for how this has worked (or not worked) for other homeowners.  Thanks![/quote]
