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

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

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