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

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