Professional Duct Sealing in Ault, CO

Your energy bills are higher than they should be for the amount of heating and cooling your home requires in Ault. Certain rooms will not reach the right temperature regardless of how long the HVAC runs in Ault, CO. You have had the equipment checked and it is working correctly in Ault. If the equipment is fine but the home is not comfortable and the bills are high, the problem is almost certainly in the distribution system in Ault, CO. Specifically, in duct leaks that are allowing conditioned air to escape into unconditioned attic or crawl space before it reaches the rooms you are paying to heat and cool in Ault.

Duct leakage happens at every unsealed joint between duct sections, at every branch takeoff from the trunk line, at every register boot connection in the walls and ceilings, and at the connections where the duct system meets the air handler in Ault, CO. The Department of Energy estimates that typical residential duct systems lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through leakage in Ault. For a home spending $200 per month on heating and cooling, that is $40 to $60 per month escaping through duct leaks to the attic or crawl space in Ault, CO.

MBM Air Duct Cleaning finds and seals duct leaks throughout Ault, CO in Ault. Pressure testing before sealing to quantify the total leakage in Ault, CO. Systematic identification of every specific leak point through the accessible system in Ault. Correct sealant materials applied to every leak point in Ault, CO. Post-sealing pressure testing to document the improvement with measured numbers in Ault. And a guarantee on every sealing service in Ault, CO. Call now for same-day scheduling in Ault.

Why Correct Sealant Materials Last While Duct Tape Fails in Ault, CO

Standard duct tape uses a rubber-based adhesive that performs at room temperature but dries and loses adhesion when repeatedly exposed to the temperature extremes that duct systems experience during HVAC operation in Ault. A supply duct carrying cold conditioned air through a 130-degree summer attic cycles through extreme temperatures with every cooling cycle in Ault, CO. Standard duct tape adhesive is not formulated for this cycling and fails within a few seasons in Ault. Mastic sealant remains flexible after curing and maintains its seal through years of thermal cycling in Ault, CO. UL 181-rated foil tape maintains adhesion for 20 years or more in normal duct system conditions in Ault.

Where Leaks Occur

Where Duct Leaks Occur and Why They Develop in Ault, CO

At Every Unsealed Duct Joint Throughout the System in Ault

Every connection between duct sections is a potential leak point in Ault, CO. In most residential installations, these joints were mechanically fastened without sealant during installation in Ault. Over years of thermal cycling that expands and contracts the ductwork with every HVAC cycle, even joints that were initially sealed with standard duct tape have failed as the tape dried and lost adhesion in Ault, CO.

At Branch Takeoffs From the Main Trunk Line in Ault, CO

Branch takeoffs split conditioned air from the main trunk line into the individual branch runs serving each room in Ault. They have multiple edges and angles that create significant potential leak area if not correctly sealed in Ault, CO. Branch takeoff leaks are among the largest individual leak points in typical residential duct systems in Ault.

At Register Boot Connections in Walls and Ceilings in Ault

The register boot connects the branch duct run to the wall, ceiling, or floor opening where the supply register mounts in Ault, CO. The connection between the flexible duct and the boot collar and the connection between the boot and the surrounding framing are both common significant leak points in Ault. Conditioned air escaping at the boot level leaks into the wall or ceiling cavity rather than through the register into the room in Ault, CO.

Why Original Installation Sealant Fails Over Time in Ault, CO

Systems sealed with standard duct tape develop leakage as the tape dries, cracks, and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Ault. Standard duct tape on duct joints typically fails within three to five seasons of thermal cycling in Ault, CO. Joints that were sealed with standard tape appear sealed when first applied and are open to leakage again within a few years in Ault.

How Leaking Ducts Create Comfort Problems Room by Room in Ault, CO

Supply duct leakage between the trunk line and the registers means rooms furthest from the air handler receive less conditioned air than they were designed to receive in Ault. The conditioned air that leaks out before reaching the register does not reach the room in Ault, CO. Rooms at the end of long duct runs with multiple leak points along the way receive the cumulative effect of all those leaks in Ault. The room that is always too hot in summer and too cold in winter is often at the end of a duct run with multiple unsealed joints in Ault, CO.

What Return Duct Leaks Do to Your Indoor Air Quality in Ault, CO

Return duct leaks draw air from the surrounding unconditioned space into the return airstream in Ault. A return duct leak in an attic draws hot, dusty attic air into the air handler in summer in Ault, CO. A return duct leak in a crawl space draws crawl space air including moisture, mold spores, and soil particulate into the system in Ault. This unconditioned air bypasses the filter and is distributed throughout the home in Ault, CO.

Sealant Materials

What MBM Uses to Seal Duct Leaks in Ault, CO

Mastic Sealant — The Professional Standard in Ault

Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in Ault, CO. It remains flexible after curing, maintaining its seal through the thermal cycling that duct systems experience in Ault. It does not dry out, crack, or lose adhesion from temperature cycling the way standard duct tape does in Ault, CO.

UL 181-Rated Foil Tape for Specific Applications in Ault, CO

UL 181-rated foil tape is tested and rated specifically for HVAC duct applications in Ault. Unlike standard duct tape, it maintains its adhesion through the temperature cycling of duct system operation in Ault, CO. Appropriate for specific sheet metal seam applications in Ault.

Standard Duct Tape Is Never Used in Ault

Standard silver duct tape is not rated for duct system applications in Ault, CO. Its rubber-based adhesive dries and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Ault. MBM Air Duct Cleaning never uses standard duct tape for duct sealing work in Ault, CO.

FAQ

Duct Sealing FAQs in Ault, CO

The clearest indicators in Ault are energy bills that seem high relative to your usage, rooms that consistently will not reach the right temperature, an HVAC system that runs continuously without achieving comfort setpoint, higher than expected dust levels throughout the home, and humidity problems during cooling season in Ault, CO. Pressure testing is the definitive way to quantify the leakage in your specific system in Ault.
A duct pressure test connects a calibrated fan to the duct system and pressurizes it to a standard test pressure in Ault. The airflow required to maintain that pressure is measured in Ault, CO. The measured airflow represents the total leakage rate of the system in Ault. MBM Air Duct Cleaning performs pressure testing before and after every duct sealing service in Ault, CO.
The Department of Energy estimates that typical residential duct systems lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through leakage before it reaches the living spaces in Ault. In systems with particularly poor sealing or failed original sealant, the loss can exceed 30 percent in Ault, CO.
Duct cleaning before duct sealing allows the mastic sealant to bond to clean duct surfaces in Ault. Applying mastic to duct surfaces coated with accumulated dust and debris reduces the bond quality and long-term sealing effectiveness in Ault, CO. MBM Air Duct Cleaning recommends cleaning before sealing when both services are needed and can coordinate both in a single visit in Ault.
Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in Ault. It remains flexible after curing and maintains its seal through the thermal cycling that duct systems experience during operation in Ault, CO. Standard duct tape uses a rubber-based adhesive that dries and loses adhesion from temperature cycling, failing within a few seasons in Ault.
Yes. Return duct leaks in crawl spaces draw crawl space air including its elevated moisture content into the return airstream in Ault. The additional moisture enters the air handler and is distributed throughout the home in Ault, CO. Indoor relative humidity rises despite the air conditioner running because the additional crawl space moisture load overwhelms the system's dehumidification capacity in Ault.
Aeroseal is a technology that seals duct leaks from inside the pressurized duct system in Ault. Aerosolized sealant particles are introduced into the system and travel to leak points where they accumulate and seal the gap in Ault, CO. It is needed when significant leakage exists in duct sections in wall cavities or ceiling plenums that cannot be physically accessed for manual sealant application in Ault.
Mastic duct sealant maintains its sealing effectiveness for the life of the duct system when correctly applied in Ault. UL 181-rated foil tape maintains adhesion for 20 years or more in normal duct system conditions in Ault, CO. Both materials significantly outlast standard duct tape in duct system applications in Ault.
Yes. Sealing the duct system reduces the conditioned air loss the system was experiencing and delivers more of the conditioned air the HVAC produces to the living spaces in Ault. The reduction in leakage translates directly to reduced energy consumption for the same heating and cooling output in Ault, CO.
Yes for systems with return duct leaks in unconditioned spaces in Ault. Return duct leaks in attics and crawl spaces draw unconditioned air including dust, moisture, and mold spores into the return airstream in Ault, CO. Sealing these leaks eliminates the pathway and keeps the circulated air to what is drawn from the living spaces in Ault.
Duct sealing costs in Ault range from $300 to $600 for smaller systems, $500 to $1,000 for standard residential systems, $800 to $1,500 and above for larger systems, and $1,500 to $3,000 and above for systems requiring Aeroseal treatment in Ault, CO. All pricing confirmed upfront before work begins in Ault.
Yes. Every MBM Air Duct Cleaning duct sealing service is guaranteed in Ault. If the sealing does not produce the expected improvement within the guarantee period, we return and address it at no additional charge in Ault, CO.
