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

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

The before and after measurements quantify the leakage reduction achieved by the sealing in Hurlburt Field. Documented evidence of the result provided to the homeowner in Hurlburt Field, FL.
Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in Hurlburt Field, FL. It remains flexible after curing, maintaining its seal through the thermal cycling that duct systems experience in Hurlburt Field. It does not dry out, crack, or lose adhesion from temperature cycling the way standard duct tape does in Hurlburt Field, FL.
UL 181-rated foil tape is tested and rated specifically for HVAC duct applications in Hurlburt Field. Unlike standard duct tape, it maintains its adhesion through the temperature cycling of duct system operation in Hurlburt Field, FL. Appropriate for specific sheet metal seam applications in Hurlburt Field.
Standard silver duct tape is not rated for duct system applications in Hurlburt Field, FL. Its rubber-based adhesive dries and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Hurlburt Field. MBM Air Duct Cleaning never uses standard duct tape for duct sealing work in Hurlburt Field, FL.
