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

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