What Exactly Is Duct Sealing?
The loss of conditioned air through the ductwork is one of the most common forms of wasted energy in residences. Many houses have ductwork that isn’t sealed properly, so conditioned air escapes before ever entering the living areas of the home. Duct sealing is the answer to this problem.
What Is Duct Sealing?
The ductwork in many homes has holes and gaps in it. It’s not uncommon for new homes to have improperly installed ductwork, and further problems can develop over time. Connections become loose, and holes are created when something punctures the ductwork. Engaging professionals to seal your ducts can fix these problems.
Lower Energy Bills
Ensuring that your ducts are sealed can save you money on your utility bills. You may be paying up to 30% more for energy because of air duct issues. Properly sealed ducts will not only help you economize but also help your HVAC equipment last longer.

Improved Comfort
Leaky air ducts can make some rooms of your home hotter or cooler than others. When your ducts are sealed correctly, heated or cooled air is evenly distributed across your entire residence. Sealed ducts help eliminate hot and cold spots.
Enhanced Safety
Duct leaks can create pressure problems in your HVAC system. This can cause back-drafting, which may result in carbon monoxide entering your home. Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause a host of health issues, even death.
Better Indoor Air Quality
Duct leaks don’t just let conditioned air out. They can also result in undesirable substances entering. Dust, dirt, and airborne contaminants can get into the ducts and, from there, into the air your breath. Vermin can also enter your ducts through gaps and holes.
