Your energy bills are higher than they should be for the amount of heating and cooling your home requires in Fruitridge Pocket. Certain rooms will not reach the right temperature regardless of how long the HVAC runs in Fruitridge Pocket, CA. You have had the equipment checked and it is working correctly in Fruitridge Pocket. 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 Fruitridge Pocket, CA.

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 Fruitridge Pocket, CA. The Department of Energy estimates that typical residential duct systems lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through leakage in Fruitridge Pocket. 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 Fruitridge Pocket, CA.

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 Fruitridge Pocket. A supply duct carrying cold conditioned air through a 130-degree summer attic cycles through extreme temperatures with every cooling cycle in Fruitridge Pocket, CA. Standard duct tape adhesive is not formulated for this cycling and fails within a few seasons in Fruitridge Pocket. Mastic sealant remains flexible after curing and maintains its seal through years of thermal cycling in Fruitridge Pocket, CA. UL 181-rated foil tape maintains adhesion for 20 years or more in normal duct system conditions in Fruitridge Pocket.
Every connection between duct sections is a potential leak point in Fruitridge Pocket, CA. In most residential installations, these joints were mechanically fastened without sealant during installation in Fruitridge Pocket. 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 Fruitridge Pocket, CA.
Branch takeoffs split conditioned air from the main trunk line into the individual branch runs serving each room in Fruitridge Pocket. They have multiple edges and angles that create significant potential leak area if not correctly sealed in Fruitridge Pocket, CA. Branch takeoff leaks are among the largest individual leak points in typical residential duct systems in Fruitridge Pocket.
The register boot connects the branch duct run to the wall, ceiling, or floor opening where the supply register mounts in Fruitridge Pocket, CA. 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 Fruitridge Pocket. Conditioned air escaping at the boot level leaks into the wall or ceiling cavity rather than through the register into the room in Fruitridge Pocket, CA.
Systems sealed with standard duct tape develop leakage as the tape dries, cracks, and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Fruitridge Pocket. Standard duct tape on duct joints typically fails within three to five seasons of thermal cycling in Fruitridge Pocket, CA. Joints that were sealed with standard tape appear sealed when first applied and are open to leakage again within a few years in Fruitridge Pocket.
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 Fruitridge Pocket. The conditioned air that leaks out before reaching the register does not reach the room in Fruitridge Pocket, CA. Rooms at the end of long duct runs with multiple leak points along the way receive the cumulative effect of all those leaks in Fruitridge Pocket. 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 Fruitridge Pocket, CA.
Return duct leaks draw air from the surrounding unconditioned space into the return airstream in Fruitridge Pocket. A return duct leak in an attic draws hot, dusty attic air into the air handler in summer in Fruitridge Pocket, CA. A return duct leak in a crawl space draws crawl space air including moisture, mold spores, and soil particulate into the system in Fruitridge Pocket. This unconditioned air bypasses the filter and is distributed throughout the home in Fruitridge Pocket, CA.
MBM Air Duct Cleaning performs a duct pressure test before any sealing begins in Fruitridge Pocket, CA. A calibrated fan is connected to the duct system and pressurized to a standard test pressure in Fruitridge Pocket. The measured airflow represents the total leakage rate and provides the baseline for comparing with the post-sealing result in Fruitridge Pocket, CA.
