Air Duct Sealing & Insulation

Your Duct Leaks Could Cost You Hundreds

When most people hear the phrase ‘energy-efficiency,’ they tend to think about their dryer, their attic insulation, or their windows. While all of these things can have a significant impact on your utility bills, there’s one major driver of high cooling and heating costs that often remains out-of-sight, out-of-mind: your air ducts. In fact, air duct leaks are one of the single-largest sources of wasted energy in the home. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that, in the average home, 20-30% of all the air that moves through the ducts is ultimately lost through pinholes, gaps, cracks, and other leak points.

This not only drives up your cooling and heating costs, but also makes your home uncomfortable. Leaky ductwork leads to rooms closest to the HVAC blower getting the most cooling or heating, with those furthest down the line getting the least. The result, more times than not, are rooms that boil while others freeze over. If you’ve been noticing ever-increasing cooling and heating costs, paired with imbalanced comfort in the rooms of your home, you should have one of our specialists out to inspect, analyze, and assess your home’s air ducts. Air duct sealing could have the potential to save you hundreds in cooling and heating costs every year.
