Duct Sealing

Duct Sealing Services: Ducts are vital when it comes to circulating hot or cool air around your home. But in many houses today, close to 20 percent of this air finds its way out through the duct system because of leaks, holes, or poor connections. This inefficiency raises energy costs and defines a difficult condition to achieve and maintain the desired indoor climate regardless of the set point on the thermostat.

Signs of Duct Sealing Services Problems

Some of your utilities’ costs are higher, especially during summer and winter.

Some rooms are difficult to warm or cool.
Your ducts are located in the attic, crawl space or garage, yet you do not pay much attention to them.

In your system you have flexible ducts that are tangled or kinked

Benefits of Sealing Ducts

Sealing the ducts reduces air leaks which in turn could increase comfort, indoor air quality, efficiency and safety of a house.

Comfort:

Sealing ducts assists to prevent hot or cold areas in the home since all rooms remain efficiently warm or cool respectively.

Air Quality:

Conditioned air can also infiltrate the walls and ceilings, as well as ambient dust and gaseous contaminants. Housing them in airtight compartments helps to minimize the circulation of contaminants in your house.

Safety:

There are appliances such as furnaces and water heaters that emit combustion gases. These gases can backdraft into your living space when you have leaky ducts, but sealing ducts will minimize this occurrence.

Energy Savings:

VENTS CO located in the ducts can reduce the operating efficiency to as low as 80% in some instances. Sealed ducts reduce energy costs and can sometimes enable homeowners to install smaller yet efficient heating and cooling systems.

Environmental Impact:

In the following part, some effective ways will be introduced on how to improve duct performance . This may be stopped using mastic sealer or metallic tapes meanwhile the accessible ducts must be insulated. Never use the standard type of duct tape. In particular check that the joints of vents and registers are tightly sealed where it merges with walls or floors. But to achieve the best outcome and avoid mishaps, one should hire a professional contractor in repairing and sealing the duct system effectively.
