1. More Effective HVAC System

When your duct system is not properly sealed, the air will begin to leak out of the small cracks and crevices. That means the air you are expending energy on to cool is being wasted. This causes your HVAC system to have to work much harder to maintain the right temperature inside your home.

2. Increased Air Quality

While you are losing cooled air through the cracks in your duct system, other contaminates and particulates can enter through your duct system and be distributed throughout the air. This can lead to poorer air quality inside your home and can cause a multitude of different health issues.

3. Increased Energy Efficiency

A sealed duct system lets your HVAC minimize its use of energy to cool your air to the appropriate temperature. The more air that leaks through your ducts, the harder your system has to work, and the higher your monthly bill.

4. Safer Home Environment

Your duct system is useful in dispersing pollution and dangerous fumes. If your ducts area leaking, you can have those harmful fumes backdraft and leak back into your home. Over time, this can impact the safety of your family’s health and can cause a significant fire risk.
