I am sure that you want your home to be as efficient as possible. Why is that? Efficiency can be directly translated into savings on your energy bill. One major obstacle to efficiency could be your HVAC duct system. Leaking ducts could actually cost you a lot more than you’d think. Not only might it lead to heated or cool air leaking into areas not needing it. It might also pick up the air from crawl spaces and other areas of your home that will further decrease the efficiency of your system. On top of that, you might pick up dust and smells from those areas, thus lowering the air quality in your home.
Since the pressure on the joints and seals of your ducts is highest near the HVAC unit, this is where you’re the most likely to experience leaks, but it might be necessary to do a thorough inspection of your duct system to find other places where there might be leaks.
