Are Your Air Ducts Costing You Money?


According to the Department
of Energy

“The typical duct system loses 25% to 40%
of the energy put out by the central air conditioner.”

 
The problem with leaky ductwork is that air not only can leak out of you HVAC system and air ducts -- untreated and unclean air and contaminants from the attic can actually be pulled in to the air you and your family breathe.  We find 20% to 40% leakage in 3 out of 4 homes we visit.   Since so many air duct systems leak and pull bad air in, poor air quality is a problem that many homes have.
 

Repairing and patching leaks in HVAC duct systems saves cooling, heating, and fan energy. In air-based systems, ducts deliver all of the heating and cooling to conditioned spaces. Any duct leakage translates into extra air that must be supplied so sufficient heating or cooling reaches the conditioned space. This not only increases effective heating and cooling loads, it also increases fan energy due to increased flow and/or run time. Sealing duct leaks reduces the amount of heated or cooled air the supply fan must handle to deliver the same amount of air to the conditioned space.
 
Poor indoor air quality can lead to poor health. 
Do you have these problems in your home?  
  • Excessive, unsightly dust?
  • Hot or cold rooms?
  • Dirt or sweating on vents?
  • Hot humid air?
  • Lingering or musty odors?
  • High utility bills?
  • Allergies, asthma, trouble sleeping or headaches?

Independent research shows 90% of homes have hidden air flow problems causing health, comfort, safety and efficiency issues. 

 
Permanent solutions to these irritants are now possible!
