Leaky ducts can significantly reduce the efficiency of your heating and cooling system, leading to higher energy bills and uncomfortable living conditions. Fortunately, duct sealing is a cost-effective way to improve efficiency, reduce energy bills, and make your home more comfortable. Not only does it help with energy savings, but it also helps improve air quality, reduce cleaning needs, and maintain a comfortable living environment throughout the house. Sealing air leaks in the duct system prevents contaminants from entering the supply from areas where the surrounding air is often of poor quality. This helps keep indoor air supply cleaner, which is especially beneficial for people with allergies and asthma.
Additionally, less dust and dirt get into the ducts, which eventually settle on surfaces and need to be cleaned. The inside of the ducts is also kept cleaner, reducing the frequency with which they need to be cleaned. Sealing helps to resolve irregularities in cooling and heating. If the air ducts in your system are well sealed, you can solve common comfort problems, such as a room being too hot in summer or too cold in winter. Sealed air ducts maintain a comfortable living environment throughout the house for you and your family. To prevent these situations from happening, make sure the ducts are sealed, either the old-fashioned way (with some adhesive tape, putty, and insulating material) or hiring a professional to run the liquid rubber sealant all over the system.
Williams Comfort Air offers this service to Indianapolis area homeowners using the Aeroseal process. The sealant closes the duct leak, allowing the duct system to retain hot and cold air as it passes through the living areas of the house. Most homeowners don't think about sealing their home's air ducts, but this process is crucial to maintaining your home's energy efficiency. It seals ductwork leaks from the inside, eliminating the difficulty and additional labor involved in repairing ducts in hard-to-reach areas of the home. If your air ducts are not properly sealed, your air conditioner may leak to areas of your home where you don't need it. The benefits of sealing ducts address problems that arise due to air leaks and help homeowners improve home efficiency and comfort.
The potential savings on HVAC equipment costs alone make it worth considering.
