Superior Air Duct Sealing in New Hope TX |
Ducts are used in homes with forced air heating and cooling systems in order to evenly distribute conditioned air throughout the home. However, within a typical home, close to 20% of air that travels through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes and poorly connected piping. This results in higher energy bills and trouble keeping your home cool and comfortable, no matter what the thermostat is set at. So how can you avoid this problem? Call us for professionally duct sealing. Duct system that is tightly sealed can improve your home’s heating and cooling efficiency. |
Sealing your ducts to prevent leaks is even more important if the ducts are located in an unconditioned area such as an attic or vented crawlspace. If the supply ducts are leaking, heated or cooled air can be forced out of unsealed joints and lost. In addition, unconditioned air can be drawn into return ducts through unsealed joints. Although minor duct repairs are easy to make, qualified professionals should seal ducts in unconditioned spaces to ensure the use of appropriate sealing materials. |
Your air ducts are one of the most important systems in your home, and if the ducts are poorly sealed or insulated they are likely contributing to higher energy bills. Your home's duct system is a branching network of tubes in the walls, floors, and ceilings; it carries the air from your home's furnace and central air conditioner to each room. Ducts are made of sheet metal, fiberglass, or other materials. Ducts that leak heated air into unheated spaces can add hundreds of dollars to your heating and cooling bills. Insulating ducts in unconditioned spaces is usually very cost-effective. |
