Your energy bills are higher than they should be for the amount of heating and cooling your home requires in Barling. Certain rooms will not reach the right temperature regardless of how long the HVAC runs in Barling, AR. You have had the equipment checked and it is working correctly in Barling. 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 Barling, AR. 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 Barling.
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 Barling, AR. The Department of Energy estimates that typical residential duct systems lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through leakage in Barling. 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 Barling, AR.

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 Barling. A supply duct carrying cold conditioned air through a 130-degree summer attic cycles through extreme temperatures with every cooling cycle in Barling, AR. Standard duct tape adhesive is not formulated for this cycling and fails within a few seasons in Barling. Mastic sealant remains flexible after curing and maintains its seal through years of thermal cycling in Barling, AR. UL 181-rated foil tape maintains adhesion for 20 years or more in normal duct system conditions in Barling.
Every connection between duct sections is a potential leak point in Barling, AR. In most residential installations, these joints were mechanically fastened without sealant during installation in Barling. 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 Barling, AR.
Branch takeoffs split conditioned air from the main trunk line into the individual branch runs serving each room in Barling. They have multiple edges and angles that create significant potential leak area if not correctly sealed in Barling, AR. Branch takeoff leaks are among the largest individual leak points in typical residential duct systems in Barling.
The register boot connects the branch duct run to the wall, ceiling, or floor opening where the supply register mounts in Barling, AR. 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 Barling. Conditioned air escaping at the boot level leaks into the wall or ceiling cavity rather than through the register into the room in Barling, AR.
Systems sealed with standard duct tape develop leakage as the tape dries, cracks, and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Barling. Standard duct tape on duct joints typically fails within three to five seasons of thermal cycling in Barling, AR. Joints that were sealed with standard tape appear sealed when first applied and are open to leakage again within a few years in Barling.
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 Barling. The conditioned air that leaks out before reaching the register does not reach the room in Barling, AR. Rooms at the end of long duct runs with multiple leak points along the way receive the cumulative effect of all those leaks in Barling. 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 Barling, AR.
Return duct leaks draw air from the surrounding unconditioned space into the return airstream in Barling. A return duct leak in an attic draws hot, dusty attic air into the air handler in summer in Barling, AR. A return duct leak in a crawl space draws crawl space air including moisture, mold spores, and soil particulate into the system in Barling. This unconditioned air bypasses the filter and is distributed throughout the home in Barling, AR.
MBM Air Duct Cleaning performs a duct pressure test before any sealing begins in Barling, AR. A calibrated fan is connected to the duct system and pressurized to a standard test pressure in Barling. The measured airflow represents the total leakage rate and provides the baseline for comparing with the post-sealing result in Barling, AR.
With the system pressurized, MBM technicians work through the accessible duct system to locate every specific leak point in Barling. Every branch takeoff. Every duct joint. Every register boot connection. Every plenum seam and air handler connection in Barling, AR. Every identified leak point is marked for sealing in Barling.
Mastic sealant for most duct joint and connection applications in Barling, AR. UL 181-rated foil tape for specific sheet metal seam applications in Barling. The correct material for the specific application in Barling, AR.
MBM systematically seals every identified leak point in the accessible duct system in Barling. Mastic applied at the correct thickness to cover the full joint gap and bond to the duct surfaces on both sides in Barling, AR. Every identified leak point addressed before the post-sealing pressure test in Barling.
After all identified leak points are sealed, MBM repeats the pressure test to measure the post-sealing leakage rate in Barling, AR. The before and after measurements quantify the leakage reduction achieved by the sealing in Barling. Documented evidence of the result provided to the homeowner in Barling, AR.
Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in Barling, AR. It remains flexible after curing, maintaining its seal through the thermal cycling that duct systems experience in Barling. It does not dry out, crack, or lose adhesion from temperature cycling the way standard duct tape does in Barling, AR.
UL 181-rated foil tape is tested and rated specifically for HVAC duct applications in Barling. Unlike standard duct tape, it maintains its adhesion through the temperature cycling of duct system operation in Barling, AR. Appropriate for specific sheet metal seam applications in Barling.
Standard silver duct tape is not rated for duct system applications in Barling, AR. Its rubber-based adhesive dries and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Barling. MBM Air Duct Cleaning never uses standard duct tape for duct sealing work in Barling, AR.
MBM performs pressure testing before and after every duct sealing service in Barling, AR. The before and after measurements document the leakage reduction achieved in Barling. Documented improvement, not assumed improvement in Barling, AR.

A sealing service that reduces leakage by 15 to 20 percentage points returns that proportional energy cost reduction on every subsequent energy bill in Barling, AR. For a home spending $200 per month on heating and cooling, a 15 percent leakage reduction saves approximately $30 per month in Barling. A sealing service costing $500 to $1,000 pays for itself in energy savings within 18 to 36 months in most cases in Barling, AR. Every month after payback is net return on the investment in Barling.
