Air ducts are out of sight and out of mind for most homeowners. But they deserve more attention since they deliver the air that heats and cools your home. One of the best ways to ensure your air ducts are properly working is to schedule air duct testing with Peak Home Performance.
Air duct testing for leaks can help identify problems within your ductwork so you can address them promptly. You don’t want to delay this vital service that keeps your home comfortable.
When an air duct leak is detected, we may recommend air duct sealing to repair the problem. Sealing the ducts creates a safer, healthier home and improves your HVAC system’s energy efficiency.
At Peak Home Performance, our technicians use sealing techniques that provide precise results. Benefits of air duct sealing include:
Air duct sealing can help improve the comfort of your home by ensuring that conditioned air is not lost through leaky ducts, reducing energy costs and improving air quality. It also allows for better temperature control throughout the house, creating a more consistent and comfortable living environment.
After you have your ducts sealed, the air flowing through them will fill your home rather than escape into your basement, attic, or crawl space.
An air duct leak test, or air duct pressure testing, verifies that the air ducts are fully sealed. Without a proper seal, your system’s efficiency — and, ultimately, your comfort —are affected.
It might surprise you, but on average, about 20-30% of the air that moves through a home’s duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
This means that a big chunk of the energy you use to heat or cool your home is wasted, which leads to higher utility bills and less comfort. You can significantly increase the effectiveness of your HVAC system and make your home more comfortable by sealing and insulating your ducts.
