Even if you've just upgraded to a highly efficient A/C system, it may come up short if your ducting system isn't functioning properly. Duct sealing is a great way to keep your home temperate and your A/C functioning the way it should.
Leaky ducts can send cool air into places where it's wasted and cause your home’s indoor air quality to suffer. This will also lead to higher energy bills and a reduced life span for your HVAC system.
The process of duct sealing can help you achieve three very important things:
- Greater indoor comfort - Taking advantage of duct sealing to improve indoor comfort is a no-brainer since your home will benefit from cool air getting where it needs to. Leaky ducts can cause different areas of your home to have varying temperatures. Moreover, you may find that the A/C system will struggle to bring any room to the proper temperature when it's overcompensating.
- Improved indoor air quality - Most people never even realize how much their indoor air quality is at risk when the ducts aren't at their best. Insulation, dust and household or garden chemicals can all get sucked into your duct system. As a result, they're then dispersed throughout your indoor air, causing possible allergy flare-ups and other respiratory issues. Once the ducts are sealed, the air that comes through your vents will be much cleaner so that you can breathe easier.
- Higher levels of safety - While you may not realize it, any gas appliances that you own including dryers, water heaters or furnaces can release carbon monoxide (CO) through their respective ventilation systems. If your ducts are full of leaks, this gas can be drawn back into your home via back-drafting. This would create a very dangerous living environment.
