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

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