Safety King at the Novi Home Improvement Show
Safety King has a series of booths (1155, 1157 & 1159) this weekend, January 27 through 29, 2012, at the Novi Home Improvement Show at the Suburban Collection Showplace, 46100 Grand River in Novi, MI 48374. We have one of our fleet of giant power vacuum trucks there in the exhibit hall and we are emphasizing our air duct cleaning, air duct sealing (Aeroseal) and dryer duct cleaning services. We hope you can stop by and see us at our booths. For details, visit http://www.novihomeshow.com/show_novi_home_improvement.htm 
Breakthrough Berkeley Mist Sealant Technology: Potential to Save Americans $5 Billion Per Year
This is the title of a new article published at the Department of Energy website. It is an article about Aeroseal, a new air duct sealing technology developed by the Energy Department and now provided to private citizens by hundreds of contractors all over the country, including by us, Safety King, in the state of Michigan.
The article reads, in part; “But what if there was a simple mist that could seal thousands of leaks in 4 to 8 hours, saving a home owner on average $600 to $850 a year on his or her heating and cooling costs? Thanks to a breakthrough technology developed at the Energy Department’s Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, such technology exists. Aeroseal LLC, a start-up that licensed the technology, has now made the technology available to thousands of home owners and business owners concerned with high utility bills and sustainable living.”
Southeast Michigan Outstanding Aeroseal Results
We are pleased to announce outstanding results from a residential Aeroseal air duct sealing Safety King carried out on Friday, September 16, 2011. The computer-measured results showed a drop in air duct leakage in this home in Chelsea, MI, from 1052 CFM (cubic feet per minute) to an astonishingly tiny 4 CFM. This is very nearly a complete elimination of leakage from the air ducts.
In most homes in southeast Michigan we are able to achieve about a 90% reduction in air duct leakage by Aerosealing the duct system. A 90% reduction in leakage is in itself an outstanding result and brings about significant savings in energy costs for the homeowner. The reason we usually cannot get to 100% reduction in some homes is that some of the leaks that are hidden behind walls are more than 5/8” wide which puts them beyond the range that Aeroseal can close. In the case of the home whose ducts we sealed on September 16, all the leaks were apparently narrow enough to be sealed totally by the Aeroseal particles. The computer generated certificate from this home is shown below.
