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

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

The before and after measurements quantify the leakage reduction achieved by the sealing in Redstone Arsenal. Documented evidence of the result provided to the homeowner in Redstone Arsenal, AL.
Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in Redstone Arsenal, AL. It remains flexible after curing, maintaining its seal through the thermal cycling that duct systems experience in Redstone Arsenal. It does not dry out, crack, or lose adhesion from temperature cycling the way standard duct tape does in Redstone Arsenal, AL.
UL 181-rated foil tape is tested and rated specifically for HVAC duct applications in Redstone Arsenal. Unlike standard duct tape, it maintains its adhesion through the temperature cycling of duct system operation in Redstone Arsenal, AL. Appropriate for specific sheet metal seam applications in Redstone Arsenal.
Standard silver duct tape is not rated for duct system applications in Redstone Arsenal, AL. Its rubber-based adhesive dries and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Redstone Arsenal. MBM Air Duct Cleaning never uses standard duct tape for duct sealing work in Redstone Arsenal, AL.
