The ductwork in your Phoenix, AZ, home is responsible for transporting air from your HVAC system to the vents in every room. Unfortunately, those ducts can suffer damage over time. Learn more about the many benefits of professional duct sealing.
Improved System Performance
When your home’s HVAC system cools or warms air, it passes that air through a network of ducts so you can be comfortable. However, when those ducts develop holes or cracks or become disconnected from one another, that air leaks out before it reaches the vents. During duct sealing, one of our service technicians will repair those damaged areas, allowing your system to perform as designed.
Better Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important part of keeping everyone in your home safe and healthy. While air filters do a great job of filtering out pollutants, punctures in your ductwork allow for more pollutants to get inside. This problem also causes your filter to clog with dirt and debris faster, leading to lower IAQ.
Lower Utility Bills
When you have leaky ductwork, your HVAC system must work harder and run for longer periods of time to get your home to the temperature that you set on your thermostat. This increased workload leads to higher utility bills. By making sure that your conditioned air remains in your ducts, duct sealing helps reduce those monthly bills since your system gets ample time to rest between cycles.
Longer System Lifespan
Anything that you do to reduce the strain on your HVAC system helps your system last longer. By eliminating damaged areas in your ductwork, you’re investing in the overall lifespan of your heating and cooling system by cutting down on the need for repairs and eventual replacement.
