Your energy bills are higher than they should be for the amount of heating and cooling your home requires in Battlement Mesa. Certain rooms will not reach the right temperature regardless of how long the HVAC runs in Battlement Mesa, CO. You have had the equipment checked and it is working correctly in Battlement Mesa. 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 Battlement Mesa, 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 Battlement Mesa.
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 Battlement Mesa, CO. The Department of Energy estimates that typical residential duct systems lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through leakage in Battlement Mesa. 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 Battlement Mesa, 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 Battlement Mesa. A supply duct carrying cold conditioned air through a 130-degree summer attic cycles through extreme temperatures with every cooling cycle in Battlement Mesa, CO. Standard duct tape adhesive is not formulated for this cycling and fails within a few seasons in Battlement Mesa. Mastic sealant remains flexible after curing and maintains its seal through years of thermal cycling in Battlement Mesa, CO. UL 181-rated foil tape maintains adhesion for 20 years or more in normal duct system conditions in Battlement Mesa.
Every connection between duct sections is a potential leak point in Battlement Mesa, CO. In most residential installations, these joints were mechanically fastened without sealant during installation in Battlement Mesa. 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 Battlement Mesa, CO.
Branch takeoffs split conditioned air from the main trunk line into the individual branch runs serving each room in Battlement Mesa. They have multiple edges and angles that create significant potential leak area if not correctly sealed in Battlement Mesa, CO. Branch takeoff leaks are among the largest individual leak points in typical residential duct systems in Battlement Mesa.
The register boot connects the branch duct run to the wall, ceiling, or floor opening where the supply register mounts in Battlement Mesa, 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 Battlement Mesa. Conditioned air escaping at the boot level leaks into the wall or ceiling cavity rather than through the register into the room in Battlement Mesa, CO.
Systems sealed with standard duct tape develop leakage as the tape dries, cracks, and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Battlement Mesa. Standard duct tape on duct joints typically fails within three to five seasons of thermal cycling in Battlement Mesa, CO. Joints that were sealed with standard tape appear sealed when first applied and are open to leakage again within a few years in Battlement Mesa.
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 Battlement Mesa. The conditioned air that leaks out before reaching the register does not reach the room in Battlement Mesa, 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 Battlement Mesa. 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 Battlement Mesa, CO.
Return duct leaks draw air from the surrounding unconditioned space into the return airstream in Battlement Mesa. A return duct leak in an attic draws hot, dusty attic air into the air handler in summer in Battlement Mesa, CO. A return duct leak in a crawl space draws crawl space air including moisture, mold spores, and soil particulate into the system in Battlement Mesa. This unconditioned air bypasses the filter and is distributed throughout the home in Battlement Mesa, CO.
MBM Air Duct Cleaning performs a duct pressure test before any sealing begins in Battlement Mesa, CO. A calibrated fan is connected to the duct system and pressurized to a standard test pressure in Battlement Mesa. The measured airflow represents the total leakage rate and provides the baseline for comparing with the post-sealing result in Battlement Mesa, CO.
With the system pressurized, MBM technicians work through the accessible duct system to locate every specific leak point in Battlement Mesa. Every branch takeoff. Every duct joint. Every register boot connection. Every plenum seam and air handler connection in Battlement Mesa, CO. Every identified leak point is marked for sealing in Battlement Mesa.
Mastic sealant for most duct joint and connection applications in Battlement Mesa, CO. UL 181-rated foil tape for specific sheet metal seam applications in Battlement Mesa. The correct material for the specific application in Battlement Mesa, CO.
MBM systematically seals every identified leak point in the accessible duct system in Battlement Mesa. Mastic applied at the correct thickness to cover the full joint gap and bond to the duct surfaces on both sides in Battlement Mesa, CO. Every identified leak point addressed before the post-sealing pressure test in Battlement Mesa.
After all identified leak points are sealed, MBM repeats the pressure test to measure the post-sealing leakage rate in Battlement Mesa, CO. The before and after measurements quantify the leakage reduction achieved by the sealing in Battlement Mesa. Documented evidence of the result provided to the homeowner in Battlement Mesa, CO.
Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in Battlement Mesa, CO. It remains flexible after curing, maintaining its seal through the thermal cycling that duct systems experience in Battlement Mesa. It does not dry out, crack, or lose adhesion from temperature cycling the way standard duct tape does in Battlement Mesa, CO.
UL 181-rated foil tape is tested and rated specifically for HVAC duct applications in Battlement Mesa. Unlike standard duct tape, it maintains its adhesion through the temperature cycling of duct system operation in Battlement Mesa, CO. Appropriate for specific sheet metal seam applications in Battlement Mesa.
Standard silver duct tape is not rated for duct system applications in Battlement Mesa, CO. Its rubber-based adhesive dries and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Battlement Mesa. MBM Air Duct Cleaning never uses standard duct tape for duct sealing work in Battlement Mesa, CO.
MBM performs pressure testing before and after every duct sealing service in Battlement Mesa, CO. The before and after measurements document the leakage reduction achieved in Battlement Mesa. Documented improvement, not assumed improvement in Battlement Mesa, CO.
