Duct Sealing

Duct sealing is one of the most important considerations in improving your home’s energy usage as duct leaks can account for as much as 40% of your monthly bills.

Billions of dollars are wasted every year in the US on conditioned air leaking into the attics or basements of our homes.

In addition to the obvious waste issues, leaking ducts introduce humid, potentially toxic air into your living space.

By now we’ve all heard that the air inside our homes is more hazardous than the air outside. Leaking ducts is, in large part, responsible for that fact.

Take a closer look

It doesn’t take an advanced degree in building science to find duct leaks.  Try this…

With your A/C or furnace running, hold an incense stick (or a wet finger) near all of the joints you can gain access to.  If the smoke is pulled into the duct, you’ve got a return leak.  If the smoke is blown away from the duct, you’ve got a supply leak.

It’s the rare home, from the hundred-year-old bungalow to the spanking-new-mansion on the mountain, where our Home Performance Checkup® doesn’t find duct leaks.

How we can help

Conservation Pros will examine your ductwork, seal or replace, and insulate, where necessary. Even if you’ve recently had your furnace or air handler replaced recently, don’t assume your ducts are sealed.  

Often, an A/C replacement doesn’t include ductwork because it would drive up costs.  So, you may very well have a super efficient air handler connected to super leaky twenty, or even fifty, year-old ducts.
