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