Duct Sealing
Leaky ducts cause poor airflow which results in higher energy bills, uncomfortable rooms and it can even pose health hazards. Duct Sealing can reduce utility bills by minimizing and eliminating leaks in your homes duct system.
Did you know that 20-30% of the energy put out by your heating and cooling system can be wasted due to holes and air leaks in your home’s ductwork?
Leaky duct work is found in most homes, which can make your heating and cooling systems work harder to maintain proper temperatures. If your heating and or cooling systems have to work harder, it will also age much quicker causing a dramatic drop in efficiency.
Air Sealing Your Ducts
A Home Efficiency Experts home energy assessment will determine where your air ducts need sealing. If they do, our trained and certified Home Efficiency Experts technician will work as efficiently as possible and perform the following work:
Reseal your home’s ducts with mastic which is painted on and dries into a rubber seal. We re-paint the seal again after we marry the duct work back together and tie-wrap the duct work seams to ensure a tight seal.
Balance the duct system to optimize proper airflow.
We also recommend insulating the duct work in your attic, crawlspace and basement to significantly improve air-flow and improve your indoor comfort.
