The Importance of Duct Sealing for Your Home
Duct sealing is often overlooked when people decide to upgrade their home energy systems, but it is a critical component of the process. Air ducts create passages for conditioned air from your heating, and air conditioning systems to distribute from room to room. However, these pathways can have leaks and small gaps at their connections, which allows heated or cooled air to escape before it reaches the right place in your home.
Ideally, ducts should work similarly to a straw used in a glass of pop. When several holes are poked into a straw, it can no longer perform its function well.
What are the benefits of Duct Sealing?
When your Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are forced to work overtime to compensate for leaks and gaps, a significant amount of energy is wasted. Unsealed ducts can also cause your home to have poor indoor air quality, uncomfortable rooms, and building durability problems.
Additionally, they can cause your HVAC system to be up to 20 percent less efficient. Duct sealing is a process where certified professionals inspect your home and identify and seal the leaks in your duct system.
There are several benefits to having your ducts professionally sealed.
- Your home can be safer: Duct sealing can eliminate several indoor air quality issues.
- Reduction of Dust accumulation: One of the main indoor air quality concerns that Hytech addresses is large amounts of dust. If your leaky ducts are connected to dusty attics or dirty crawl spaces, they can pull those pollutants into your home.
- Balanced Indoor Air Temperature: Having properly sealed ducts can balance the air temperature in your home because air will be able to reach each room, creating a more comfortable living space. Having properly sealed ducts can also reduce your utility and energy costs because HVAC system won’t have to work so hard. Duct sealing can also help protect the environment by reducing the necessary amount of energy consumption and, in turn, pollution generated.
