Duct Leaks: The Hidden Energy Drain

Leaky air ducts can waste 20-30% of your conditioned air, significantly increasing energy bills and reducing comfort. Professional duct sealing is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your home's energy efficiency.

Professional Sealing Methods

  • Mastic: Professional-grade sealant for permanent repairs
  • Foil tape (UL 181): High-quality tape for accessible joints
  • Aerosolized sealants: Advanced technology for hard-to-reach areas

Return on Investment

Duct sealing typically pays for itself within 1-2 years through:

  • Reduced energy bills (15-25% savings)
  • Improved comfort and temperature consistency
  • Extended HVAC system lifespan
  • Better indoor air quality
