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

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

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