Ducting

Ducting


Leaky ducting can account for up to 30 percent of your total energy costs, causing you hundreds of extra dollars on bills each year. Sealing your ducts is also important for health and safety. Leaky ducting can allow various contaminants such as mold, dust, toxins, gases, and excess moisture to enter your environment.

Leaky ducting also lowers the heating and cooling capacity of your home, never allowing you to gain an adequate level of comfort. Leaking ducting can also be attributed to declines in the quality of your equipment.

Since leaky ducting is hard to recognize with the naked eye, a special fan used for a pressure test is required to figure out whether you have a leak in you ductwork. Poor-quality seals in the ducting are usually to blame for leaks. Mastic paste is probably the best seal to use. See the articles below to find out more about ducting.


All About Duct Insulation

Often an overlooked concern when considering heating and cooling systems, duct insulation is a crucial matter, as it can lower your utility bills, raise safety measures, and significantly improve the comfort level of your home.  

Air Duct Cleaning

Just as important as having good air duct insulation is ensuring the cleanliness of the ducts themselves.  While soiled ducts can be both financially and physically harmful, clean ducts ensure comfort and cost-efficiency.
