The ducts that are part of the heating and cooling systems offer one of the best opportunities to increase your energy efficiency, increase your comfort and manage your energy bills. Studies indicate that 10%-30% of the heated or cooled air is lost along with the money that was used to heat or cool that air through leak ducts. Properly sized, installed and sealed ductwork will make will make your heating and cooling system significantly more efficient. A properly operating heating, ventilating and cooling system (HVAC) will help reduce overall energy use and deliver comfort and cleaner air to every room.
Energy loss is not the only concern, however. Duct systems can also involve the comfort of your family, employees, tenants or customers as well as your indoor air quality. Testing the ducts will locate the leaks or damage and focus repair work in the right areas.
We use certified calibrated instruments to properly and safely test the duct system. The test results will tell the amount of leakage in cubic feet per minute (CFM). From this amount (CFM) loss we calculate the amount of energy that is being wasted to heat your attic or crawl space areas and determine the amount of savings on your annual utility bill by simply sealing the ducts.
