Duct Sealing Services from Barnett Heating & Cooling
Duct sealing is a critical aspect of HVAC maintenance that is often overlooked by homeowners. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, up to 30% of the conditioned air in a typical home can be lost through leaks and poorly connected ducts. This not only leads to increased energy bills but also compromises indoor air quality and overall comfort levels.
The Duct Sealing Process
At Barnett Heating & Cooling, our duct sealing process begins with a comprehensive inspection of your home’s ductwork. Our technicians use state-of-the-art equipment, such as thermal imaging cameras and airflow meters, to identify leaks, disconnections, and other issues that may be causing air loss.
Once the problem areas have been identified, our team employs a combination of techniques to effectively seal the ducts:
- Mastic sealant application: We apply a thick, paste-like sealant called mastic to the joints and seams of the ductwork. This sealant provides a durable, long-lasting seal that prevents air leakage.
- Foil tape reinforcement: In addition to mastic, we use foil-backed tape to reinforce the seals and ensure a tight, secure fit. This tape is specifically designed for HVAC applications and can withstand extreme temperatures and pressure.
- Aerosol-based sealing: For hard-to-reach or inaccessible ductwork, we employ an aerosol-based sealing technology. This involves injecting a fog of sealant particles into the ducts, which then adheres to the edges of leaks and gaps, effectively sealing them from the inside out.
