Seal Heating and Cooling Ducts
Sealing your air ducts is one of the most effective steps you can take towards protecting your home from efficiency loss during temperature swings. Leaking ducts can lead to significant energy loss in your home, and a much higher bill than you typically expect. Duct sealing insulates your airways and prevents air loss as heated or cooled air flows throughout your home. By sealing the ducts in your attic, basement, crawl space, and garage, you can increase your home’s efficiency by up to 20% regardless of the temperature outside.
How to know if your ducts are leaking
Duct work is usually hidden behind walls, in crawl spaces, or in attics so it can be difficult to know whether they’re leaking or not. There are a few things to check for to determine whether or not your ducts need to be sealed:
· Some rooms in your home are hotter or colder than others.
· Your heating and cooling costs are much higher than expected.
· Some rooms in your home have unbalanced or uneven heating or cooling.
If you’ve noticed any of these occurring around your home, it may be time to call our duct sealing experts to assess the state of your duct system.
Have Your HVAC System Service Regularly
There are countless reasons to have your HVAC system regularly maintained, and combatting unpredictable outdoor temperatures is one of them. Making sure your system is up to date on repairs and maintenance is the best way to extend its life span as long as possible. A well working system will perform far better switching from warm to cool than one that may have an underlying issue or need for repair.
