Your home's ductwork is the circulatory system for your heating and cooling, delivering conditioned air to every room. However, it's a system that often operates out of sight and out of mind. In many homes across North Plains, small cracks, gaps, and loose connections in this network are silently undermining your comfort, air quality, and budget. Professional duct sealing is the definitive solution to this hidden problem, restoring your HVAC system's efficiency and transforming the overall health and comfort of your home. By sealing your entire duct system from the inside out, Best Owner Direct HVAC & Electrical ensures the air you pay to heat and cool reaches its intended destination without waste.
Leaky ducts are more than just a minor inefficiency; they can be the root cause of persistent issues you may have accepted as normal. If you're experiencing any of the following problems in your North Plains home, your ductwork is the likely culprit.
Do you have rooms that are always too warm in the summer or chilly in the winter, no matter how you adjust the thermostat? This is a classic sign of leaky ducts. When conditioned air escapes through gaps in the attic, crawlspace, or behind walls, it never reaches the registers in those hard-to-heat-or-cool rooms. Your HVAC system works harder, but the comfort remains inconsistent.
According to ENERGY STAR, a typical home can lose 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through its duct system to leaks, holes, and poor connections. This is a staggering amount of waste. That lost air is conditioned air you have already paid for. Your furnace and air conditioner are forced to run longer and more frequently to compensate for this loss, leading directly to higher monthly energy bills.
Your ductwork doesn't just leak air out; it can also pull unconditioned, contaminated air in. Leaks in ducts located in attics, crawlspaces, or garages can draw in dust, insulation fibers, pollen, mold spores, and other pollutants. This contaminated air is then circulated throughout your entire home, aggravating allergies, contributing to respiratory issues, and causing surfaces to accumulate dust much faster.
Leaky ducts disrupt the delicate air pressure balance your HVAC system was designed to maintain. This forces the fan motor and compressor to work overtime to circulate air, leading to premature wear and tear on expensive components. You may notice your system is louder than it used to be or that it cycles on and off constantly, signs that it is struggling to keep up.
Simply patching visible leaks with tape is a temporary, incomplete fix. The vast majority of leaks are located in inaccessible areas of your home. Best Owner Direct HVAC & Electrical utilizes an advanced, systematic process to seal your entire duct network thoroughly and effectively, ensuring a permanent solution.
Our process begins with a comprehensive inspection. We seal your registers and vents to isolate the duct system from the rest of your home. We then connect a specialized fan and pressure-testing equipment to your system to measure the precise amount of air leakage, providing a clear diagnostic baseline.
With the system pressurized, we introduce a non-toxic, UL-tested aerosol sealant into the ductwork. The pressurized air forces these microscopic sealant particles to accelerate and collect at the edges of every leak, no matter how small or inaccessible. The particles bond together, layer by layer, until the hole is completely and permanently sealed from the inside.
Throughout the sealing process, our computer-based system monitors the airflow and pressure in real time. We can watch as the leakage rate drops and the system's efficiency improves. This allows us to precisely control the application and ensure we achieve optimal results without over-sealing the system.
Once the process is complete, we conduct a final leakage test. We provide you with a detailed, computer-generated report that shows the "before and after" results, giving you certified proof of the dramatic reduction in duct leakage and the immediate improvement in your system's performance.
Sealing your ductwork is an investment that pays immediate and long-term dividends in comfort, health, and savings.
