Since there are so many negative effects of loose or leaky ducts, it is important to identify where these leaks are located. Then our professionals can get started on tightly sealing any places where the heated or cooled air is escaping.
During a leak test, our experts can set up specialized tools to measure the rate of airflow. As a calibrated fan blows out air, another appliance is used to sense the air pressure. Depending on the percentages of these factors, we can determine the levels of airtightness of the ducts.
Duct sealing is a meticulous process designed to identify and address leaks, gaps, or cracks in the ductwork of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Certified technicians begin by conducting a comprehensive inspection to pinpoint any areas where conditioned air may be escaping. Once identified, these leaks are sealed using specialized materials such as mastic or metal tape. The goal is to create an airtight seal, ensuring that the maximum amount of conditioned air reaches its intended destinations within the building. By preventing leaks, duct sealing significantly improves energy efficiency, reduces utility bills, and enhances overall HVAC system performance, contributing to consistent room temperatures and a healthier indoor environment.
