Indoor Air Quality
Contaminated air may be drawn into leaky return air ducts. This air may
contain dust, mold, moisture, insulation fibers or fumes from garages,
attics and crawlspaces. These materials can make allergy and asthma
problems worse. Sealed ducts can help reduce the risk.
Combustion Safety
If your home has combustion appliances (i.e., water heaters, fireplaces, wood stoves, furnaces or cloths dryers) leaky ducts may cause these appliances to backdraft. Leaky supply ducts can produce a negative pressure in your home. This negative pressure can pull the fumes and gases from these appliances into the house instead of up the chimney or flue. Sealed ducts can help eliminate this hazardous problem.
$ave Money
You pay for the air that leaks out of your ducts. This can be up to
20% of the air that goes through your heating and cooling system.
A typical home can save over $150 per year! If your water pipes leaked,
wouldn't you have them repaired? Save money
by having your
ducts tested and sealed.
Comfort
If your ducts are leaking, they are not working as they were design to.
Leaky ducts can cause some areas to be too hot while other areas stay
too cold, or aren't heated at all! Disconnected ducts are all too common.
This results in the air you paid for, to blow outside!
Save the Environment!
Large scale energy generation is a major factor in air pollution. The more energy
your home uses to keep you comfortable, the more must be produced. The more
energy produced, means more air pollution and
damage to
our natural resources. Seal your ducts and
save the world!
