We bought a new house almost 1 year ago and my in-laws moved into the basement. I do get along with my in-laws so it is a good thing... I installed the Ecobee thermostat and had 5 temperature sensors throughout the house. We were constantly seeing a difference in temperature between the basement and the second floor of 5-10 degrees. It didn't matter summer or winter, trying to keep the basement at a good level left the rest of the house suffering and vise versa. I continued to research ways to balance HVAC systems and eventually stumbled onto Aeroseal in the US. I made the inquiry on their web site and they ended up contacting the Canadian rep who put me in contact with our local guy, Joe. We ended up bringing Joe in because we were desperate to get the HVAC balanced in the house. Joe came in and walked us through the whole process, reviewed a bunch of "builder issues" that needed to be rectified, like installing the heat recovery system backwards so that it was totally useless. We did the sealing process and went from an astounding 707 CFM duct leakage down to 11 CFM leakage. That is a whopping 98% improvement. Within hours of Joe leaving the temps in the house balanced out and we are now seeing a standard difference of between 1-3 degrees difference between the basement and second floor. What a difference, putting the air where it needs to go and not loosing everything inside the walls and floors. I highly recommend Joe and the team. You can sure tell that they are believers in the product and that they know what they are talking about. We were even in the process of getting our windows replaced to see if that would make it better. We are still waiting for windows 8 weeks later but wish that we had have known about Aeroseal before signing the contract for the windows. That would have saved us tens of thousands of dollars. Too bad we are too late to cancel the windows.....
