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

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