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

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 Laramie. A supply duct carrying cold conditioned air through a 130-degree summer attic cycles through extreme temperatures with every cooling cycle in Laramie, WY. Standard duct tape adhesive is not formulated for this cycling and fails within a few seasons in Laramie. Mastic sealant remains flexible after curing and maintains its seal through years of thermal cycling in Laramie, WY. UL 181-rated foil tape maintains adhesion for 20 years or more in normal duct system conditions in Laramie.
Every connection between duct sections is a potential leak point in Laramie, WY. In most residential installations, these joints were mechanically fastened without sealant during installation in Laramie. 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 Laramie, WY.
Branch takeoffs split conditioned air from the main trunk line into the individual branch runs serving each room in Laramie. They have multiple edges and angles that create significant potential leak area if not correctly sealed in Laramie, WY. Branch takeoff leaks are among the largest individual leak points in typical residential duct systems in Laramie.
The register boot connects the branch duct run to the wall, ceiling, or floor opening where the supply register mounts in Laramie, WY. 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 Laramie. Conditioned air escaping at the boot level leaks into the wall or ceiling cavity rather than through the register into the room in Laramie, WY.
Systems sealed with standard duct tape develop leakage as the tape dries, cracks, and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Laramie. Standard duct tape on duct joints typically fails within three to five seasons of thermal cycling in Laramie, WY. Joints that were sealed with standard tape appear sealed when first applied and are open to leakage again within a few years in Laramie.
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 Laramie. The conditioned air that leaks out before reaching the register does not reach the room in Laramie, WY. Rooms at the end of long duct runs with multiple leak points along the way receive the cumulative effect of all those leaks in Laramie. 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 Laramie, WY.
Return duct leaks draw air from the surrounding unconditioned space into the return airstream in Laramie. A return duct leak in an attic draws hot, dusty attic air into the air handler in summer in Laramie, WY. A return duct leak in a crawl space draws crawl space air including moisture, mold spores, and soil particulate into the system in Laramie. This unconditioned air bypasses the filter and is distributed throughout the home in Laramie, WY.
MBM Air Duct Cleaning performs a duct pressure test before any sealing begins in Laramie, WY. A calibrated fan is connected to the duct system and pressurized to a standard test pressure in Laramie. The measured airflow represents the total leakage rate and provides the baseline for comparing with the post-sealing result in Laramie, WY.
With the system pressurized, MBM technicians work through the accessible duct system to locate every specific leak point in Laramie. Every branch takeoff. Every duct joint. Every register boot connection. Every plenum seam and air handler connection in Laramie, WY. Every identified leak point is marked for sealing in Laramie.
Mastic sealant for most duct joint and connection applications in Laramie, WY. UL 181-rated foil tape for specific sheet metal seam applications in Laramie. The correct material for the specific application in Laramie, WY.
MBM systematically seals every identified leak point in the accessible duct system in Laramie. Mastic applied at the correct thickness to cover the full joint gap and bond to the duct surfaces on both sides in Laramie, WY. Every identified leak point addressed before the post-sealing pressure test in Laramie.
After all identified leak points are sealed, MBM repeats the pressure test to measure the post-sealing leakage rate in Laramie, WY. The before and after measurements quantify the leakage reduction achieved by the sealing in Laramie. Documented evidence of the result provided to the homeowner in Laramie, WY.
Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in Laramie, WY. It remains flexible after curing, maintaining its seal through the thermal cycling that duct systems experience in Laramie. It does not dry out, crack, or lose adhesion from temperature cycling the way standard duct tape does in Laramie, WY.
UL 181-rated foil tape is tested and rated specifically for HVAC duct applications in Laramie. Unlike standard duct tape, it maintains its adhesion through the temperature cycling of duct system operation in Laramie, WY. Appropriate for specific sheet metal seam applications in Laramie.
Standard silver duct tape is not rated for duct system applications in Laramie, WY. Its rubber-based adhesive dries and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Laramie. MBM Air Duct Cleaning never uses standard duct tape for duct sealing work in Laramie, WY.
MBM performs pressure testing before and after every duct sealing service in Laramie, WY. The before and after measurements document the leakage reduction achieved in Laramie. Documented improvement, not assumed improvement in Laramie, WY.
MBM seals every identified leak point in the accessible duct system in Laramie. Not a representative sample. Not the most obvious points only in Laramie, WY. Every identified leak point in Laramie.
Mastic sealant and UL 181-rated foil tape that maintain their effectiveness through the thermal cycling of long-term HVAC operation in Laramie, WY. Never standard duct tape in Laramie.
Every MBM Air Duct Cleaning duct sealing service is guaranteed in Laramie. If the sealing does not produce the expected improvement within the guarantee period, we return and address it at no additional charge in Laramie, WY.
All pricing confirmed upfront before work begins in Laramie. No surprises in Laramie, WY.
A sealing service that reduces leakage by 15 to 20 percentage points returns that proportional energy cost reduction on every subsequent energy bill in Laramie, WY. For a home spending $200 per month on heating and cooling, a 15 percent leakage reduction saves approximately $30 per month in Laramie. A sealing service costing $500 to $1,000 pays for itself in energy savings within 18 to 36 months in most cases in Laramie, WY. Every month after payback is net return on the investment in Laramie.
