Your energy bills are higher than they should be for the amount of heating and cooling your home requires in Pecan Plantation. Certain rooms will not reach the right temperature regardless of how long the HVAC runs in Pecan Plantation, TX. You have had the equipment checked and it is working correctly in Pecan Plantation. 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 Pecan Plantation, 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 Pecan Plantation.
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 Pecan Plantation, TX. The Department of Energy estimates that typical residential duct systems lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through leakage in Pecan Plantation. 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 Pecan Plantation, 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 Pecan Plantation. A supply duct carrying cold conditioned air through a 130-degree summer attic cycles through extreme temperatures with every cooling cycle in Pecan Plantation, TX. Standard duct tape adhesive is not formulated for this cycling and fails within a few seasons in Pecan Plantation. Mastic sealant remains flexible after curing and maintains its seal through years of thermal cycling in Pecan Plantation, TX. UL 181-rated foil tape maintains adhesion for 20 years or more in normal duct system conditions in Pecan Plantation.
Every connection between duct sections is a potential leak point in Pecan Plantation, TX. In most residential installations, these joints were mechanically fastened without sealant during installation in Pecan Plantation. 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 Pecan Plantation, TX.
Branch takeoffs split conditioned air from the main trunk line into the individual branch runs serving each room in Pecan Plantation. They have multiple edges and angles that create significant potential leak area if not correctly sealed in Pecan Plantation, TX. Branch takeoff leaks are among the largest individual leak points in typical residential duct systems in Pecan Plantation.
The register boot connects the branch duct run to the wall, ceiling, or floor opening where the supply register mounts in Pecan Plantation, 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 Pecan Plantation. Conditioned air escaping at the boot level leaks into the wall or ceiling cavity rather than through the register into the room in Pecan Plantation, TX.
Systems sealed with standard duct tape develop leakage as the tape dries, cracks, and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Pecan Plantation. Standard duct tape on duct joints typically fails within three to five seasons of thermal cycling in Pecan Plantation, TX. Joints that were sealed with standard tape appear sealed when first applied and are open to leakage again within a few years in Pecan Plantation.
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 Pecan Plantation. The conditioned air that leaks out before reaching the register does not reach the room in Pecan Plantation, 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 Pecan Plantation. 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 Pecan Plantation, TX.
Return duct leaks draw air from the surrounding unconditioned space into the return airstream in Pecan Plantation. A return duct leak in an attic draws hot, dusty attic air into the air handler in summer in Pecan Plantation, TX. A return duct leak in a crawl space draws crawl space air including moisture, mold spores, and soil particulate into the system in Pecan Plantation. This unconditioned air bypasses the filter and is distributed throughout the home in Pecan Plantation, TX.
MBM Air Duct Cleaning performs a duct pressure test before any sealing begins in Pecan Plantation, TX. A calibrated fan is connected to the duct system and pressurized to a standard test pressure in Pecan Plantation. The measured airflow represents the total leakage rate and provides the baseline for comparing with the post-sealing result in Pecan Plantation, TX.
With the system pressurized, MBM technicians work through the accessible duct system to locate every specific leak point in Pecan Plantation. Every branch takeoff. Every duct joint. Every register boot connection. Every plenum seam and air handler connection in Pecan Plantation, TX. Every identified leak point is marked for sealing in Pecan Plantation.

Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in Pecan Plantation, TX. It remains flexible after curing, maintaining its seal through the thermal cycling that duct systems experience in Pecan Plantation. It does not dry out, crack, or lose adhesion from temperature cycling the way standard duct tape does in Pecan Plantation, TX.
UL 181-rated foil tape is tested and rated specifically for HVAC duct applications in Pecan Plantation. Unlike standard duct tape, it maintains its adhesion through the temperature cycling of duct system operation in Pecan Plantation, TX. Appropriate for specific sheet metal seam applications in Pecan Plantation.
Standard silver duct tape is not rated for duct system applications in Pecan Plantation, TX. Its rubber-based adhesive dries and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Pecan Plantation. MBM Air Duct Cleaning never uses standard duct tape for duct sealing work in Pecan Plantation, TX.
