Aeroseal focuses on reducing carbon emissions through advanced leak sealing technologies. Their main products, HomeSeal Connect and AeroBarrier Connect, work by injecting a fog of sealant particles into pressurized spaces like ducts and walls, effectively sealing small leaks that traditional methods often miss. This process is monitored by software that provides a certificate of completion, showing the reduction in leakage before and after the sealing. Aeroseal stands out from competitors by having a proven track record, having sealed nearly 200,000 projects and saved around $2 billion in wasted energy. The company's goal is to significantly contribute to climate change mitigation by aiming to reduce global carbon emissions by 1 gigaton annually.
