Your heating and cooling ductwork may be wasting a lot of
your energy dollars. Your home's duct system carries the air from your home's
furnace and central air conditioner to each room. Ducts are made of sheet metal,
fiber glass, or other materials.
Unfortunately, many duct systems are poorly insulated or
not insulated properly. Ducts that leak heated air into unheated spaces can add
hundreds of dollars a year to your heating and cooling bills. Insulating ducts
that are in unconditioned spaces can be very cost effective.
Sealing your ducts to prevent leaks is even more important
if the ducts are located in an unconditioned area such as an attic or vented
crawl space.
If the supply ducts are leaking, heated or cooled air can be forced out unsealed
joints and lost. In addition, unconditioned air can also be drawn into return
ducts through unsealed joints. In the summer, hot attic air can be drawn in,
increasing the load on the air conditioner. In the winter, your furnace will
have to work longer to keep your house comfortable. Either way, your energy
losses cost you money.
