Air ducts distribute warm or cool air to your living space to maintain a comfortable temperature within your home. Typically, ductwork is hidden away in attics or in crawl spaces and costly leaks go undetected. According to recent government studies, a typical duct system loses 25 - 40% of the heating or cooling energy put out by the central furnace or air conditioner. Duct leakage forces your system to run longer and work harder to maintain comfort levels. Unfortunately, this means large increases in your heating and cooling bills. In addition to putting a strain on your budget, leaky ducts can pull pollutants and irritants from your attic directly into your house affecting your family's health.
Sealing of heating and cooling ducts is one of the most cost-effective improvements you can perform to substantially increase the efficiency of your furnace and air conditioner.
