Get Started

Aeroseal is the quickest and most effective method to test and seal ductwork and meet today’s stricter building code requirements.

With Aeroseal, you will pass the IECC 2021 duct leakage test every time!
Priority Energy GUARANTEES IT!

Chicago-area architects, builders and HVAC contractors have begun specifying Aeroseal duct sealing at the initial stage of their new construction projects and high-performance homes. The aerosol sealant seals seams and connections fast, usually within just a couple of hours, and is so effective it is guaranteed to pass the duct leakage test every time. The computerized process efficiently measures leakage, seals and tests at the same time. Never worry about meeting the code requirement.  

Why do the EPA and the U.S. DOE recommend Aeroseal? Because properly sealed ducts are such an important component of indoor comfort, indoor air quality, energy efficiency and lower utility costs! Your home buyers/customers will thank you for the recommendation. Go to our Aeroseal Facts and Benefits page for additional benefits! 

Aeroseal is UL 1381 certified and Low VOC approved, by prestigious standards bodies such as ANSI/BPI (Building Performance Institute), NGBS (National Green Building Standard) and FEMP (Federal Energy Management Program). In addition, Aeroseal is an approved duct testing method by the State of Illinois.

Seal and Verify in One Step

New construction homes with ductwork in unconditioned spaces, like the attic or basement, must pass a duct leakage test, under the IECC 2021 building code requirements. To save time and eliminate guess work, more and more contractors are choosing Priority Energy and Aeroseal to get the results they need FAST!  Don’t let the tape and mastic duct sealing method slow down your production schedule. Priority Energy can Aeroseal most new construction homes in less than one day and with only a few days advance notice.

Meet Energy Star and Advanced Certification Requirements

Congratulations!  ENERGY STAR rated homes and buildings are built and tested to outperform the typical American home in comfort, energy efficiency and durability. Aeroseal duct sealing is the only way to achieve the stricter leakage requirement. (Priority Energy’s certified HERS Raters can work with your builder or architect to achieve the energy efficiency requirements for ENERGY STAR certification.)

Seal and Save

Don’t be fooled into believing that bigger is better! Properly sealed ductwork and an accurately-sized HVAC system will provide far better year-round comfort and long term structural durability than a larger-than-needed, more expensive system. In fact, an HVAC system that is oversized can cause humidity problems and discomfort, and will be more expensive to operate. For maximum comfort and durability, have your HVAC system designed by our professional staff and use Aeroseal to seal in success. Priority Energy’s Mechanical Design services (MEP) can provide your Manual J,D and S reports to get your project started right!

The most cost-effective time to seal ductwork in new construction is BEFORE the furnace and drywall are installed. We’ll help coordinate the installation. Tell your builder or HVAC contractor to call Priority Energy about Aeroseal today at 312-767-9047. We are Chicagoland's most trusted authorized Aeroseal provider.

  • I just wanted to send this message to all you and say GREAT JOB!  We had a rough inspection today and passed for the Woodward Ave. house. The inspector told us "if every house I inspected looked like this one I would be out a job".

    Anonymous Builder

  • We were so impressed with the amount of information the Priority Energy technicians gave us during our ENERGY AUDIT.  If you are buying a house, I would strongly recommend having them do an energy audit on it, in addition to your usual home inspection.

    Executive at Medline Industries, IL

  • I have a two story home built in the mid seventies. Lots of temperature fluctuation between the floors. The Aeroseal process dramatically increased the air flow to the second floor. Good experience. The company was very informative, answered a lot of questions.

    Kim, Glen Ellyn, IL

  • Thank you. Truly. I appreciate you taking the time to clarify things for me and then going above and beyond to ensure that my CEUs are handled for our current RESNET cycle. You’ve always been kind to me and this is another shining example of that.

    Richard; Lake Forest, IL

  • On to the Radon issue - Excellent results with Aeroseal!  From 5 + to a .4.  Before sealing like we discussed, I had warm air coming out of the sump basket with the furnace running. Even with the furnace running, it is still pulling air in now.

    Bill; Belvidere, IL

  • Pat was awesome and super helpful! We are experiencing weak air flow in the duct system of our 1950''s home and Pat gave us great recommendations to fix the problem when we do our remodel.

    D. L, Lake Zurich, IL Feb. 2019

  • Priority Energy did an aeroseal for our home. We have had issues with air flow in our kitchen (cold in the winter) and one bedroom upstairs (hot in the summer). After they were complete, there is such a stronger air flow from the vents, that it really makes a difference.

    J.J. Chicago, IL - November 2020

  • Excellent Service and Company to work with - highly recommended and professional!

    T. B. Chicago, IL - July 2020

  • Before we sealed our ductwork the rooms farthest from the furnace were always hotter or colder than the rest of the house. We felt an improvement in air flow to the kids rooms right away. 98% duct leak reduction!

    S. H. Glenview, IL - October 2020
