Your energy bills are higher than they should be for the amount of heating and cooling your home requires in Patrick Afb. Certain rooms will not reach the right temperature regardless of how long the HVAC runs in Patrick Afb, FL. You have had the equipment checked and it is working correctly in Patrick Afb. 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 Patrick Afb, 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 Patrick Afb.
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 Patrick Afb, FL. The Department of Energy estimates that typical residential duct systems lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through leakage in Patrick Afb. 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 Patrick Afb, 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 Patrick Afb. A supply duct carrying cold conditioned air through a 130-degree summer attic cycles through extreme temperatures with every cooling cycle in Patrick Afb, FL. Standard duct tape adhesive is not formulated for this cycling and fails within a few seasons in Patrick Afb. Mastic sealant remains flexible after curing and maintains its seal through years of thermal cycling in Patrick Afb, FL. UL 181-rated foil tape maintains adhesion for 20 years or more in normal duct system conditions in Patrick Afb.
Every connection between duct sections is a potential leak point in Patrick Afb, FL. In most residential installations, these joints were mechanically fastened without sealant during installation in Patrick Afb. 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 Patrick Afb, FL.
Branch takeoffs split conditioned air from the main trunk line into the individual branch runs serving each room in Patrick Afb. They have multiple edges and angles that create significant potential leak area if not correctly sealed in Patrick Afb, FL. Branch takeoff leaks are among the largest individual leak points in typical residential duct systems in Patrick Afb.
The register boot connects the branch duct run to the wall, ceiling, or floor opening where the supply register mounts in Patrick Afb, 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 Patrick Afb. Conditioned air escaping at the boot level leaks into the wall or ceiling cavity rather than through the register into the room in Patrick Afb, FL.
Systems sealed with standard duct tape develop leakage as the tape dries, cracks, and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Patrick Afb. Standard duct tape on duct joints typically fails within three to five seasons of thermal cycling in Patrick Afb, FL. Joints that were sealed with standard tape appear sealed when first applied and are open to leakage again within a few years in Patrick Afb.
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 Patrick Afb. The conditioned air that leaks out before reaching the register does not reach the room in Patrick Afb, 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 Patrick Afb. 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 Patrick Afb, FL.
Return duct leaks draw air from the surrounding unconditioned space into the return airstream in Patrick Afb. A return duct leak in an attic draws hot, dusty attic air into the air handler in summer in Patrick Afb, FL. A return duct leak in a crawl space draws crawl space air including moisture, mold spores, and soil particulate into the system in Patrick Afb. This unconditioned air bypasses the filter and is distributed throughout the home in Patrick Afb, FL.
MBM Air Duct Cleaning performs a duct pressure test before any sealing begins in Patrick Afb, FL. A calibrated fan is connected to the duct system and pressurized to a standard test pressure in Patrick Afb. The measured airflow represents the total leakage rate and provides the baseline for comparing with the post-sealing result in Patrick Afb, FL.
With the system pressurized, MBM technicians work through the accessible duct system to locate every specific leak point in Patrick Afb. Every branch takeoff. Every duct joint. Every register boot connection. Every plenum seam and air handler connection in Patrick Afb, FL. Every identified leak point is marked for sealing in Patrick Afb.
Mastic sealant for most duct joint and connection applications in Patrick Afb, FL. UL 181-rated foil tape for specific sheet metal seam applications in Patrick Afb. The correct material for the specific application in Patrick Afb, FL.
MBM systematically seals every identified leak point in the accessible duct system in Patrick Afb. Mastic applied at the correct thickness to cover the full joint gap and bond to the duct surfaces on both sides in Patrick Afb, FL. Every identified leak point addressed before the post-sealing pressure test in Patrick Afb.
After all identified leak points are sealed, MBM repeats the pressure test to measure the post-sealing leakage rate in Patrick Afb, FL. The before and after measurements quantify the leakage reduction achieved by the sealing in Patrick Afb. Documented evidence of the result provided to the homeowner in Patrick Afb, FL.
Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in Patrick Afb, FL. It remains flexible after curing, maintaining its seal through the thermal cycling that duct systems experience in Patrick Afb. It does not dry out, crack, or lose adhesion from temperature cycling the way standard duct tape does in Patrick Afb, FL.
UL 181-rated foil tape is tested and rated specifically for HVAC duct applications in Patrick Afb. Unlike standard duct tape, it maintains its adhesion through the temperature cycling of duct system operation in Patrick Afb, FL. Appropriate for specific sheet metal seam applications in Patrick Afb.
Standard silver duct tape is not rated for duct system applications in Patrick Afb, FL. Its rubber-based adhesive dries and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Patrick Afb. MBM Air Duct Cleaning never uses standard duct tape for duct sealing work in Patrick Afb, FL.
MBM performs pressure testing before and after every duct sealing service in Patrick Afb, FL. The before and after measurements document the leakage reduction achieved in Patrick Afb. Documented improvement, not assumed improvement in Patrick Afb, FL.

A sealing service that reduces leakage by 15 to 20 percentage points returns that proportional energy cost reduction on every subsequent energy bill in Patrick Afb, FL. For a home spending $200 per month on heating and cooling, a 15 percent leakage reduction saves approximately $30 per month in Patrick Afb. A sealing service costing $500 to $1,000 pays for itself in energy savings within 18 to 36 months in most cases in Patrick Afb, FL. Every month after payback is net return on the investment in Patrick Afb.
