Professional Duct Sealing in South Bloomfield, OH

Your energy bills are higher than they should be for the amount of heating and cooling your home requires in South Bloomfield. Certain rooms will not reach the right temperature regardless of how long the HVAC runs in South Bloomfield, OH. You have had the equipment checked and it is working correctly in South Bloomfield. 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 South Bloomfield, OH. 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 South Bloomfield.

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 South Bloomfield, OH. The Department of Energy estimates that typical residential duct systems lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through leakage in South Bloomfield. 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 South Bloomfield, OH.

MBM Air Duct Cleaning finds and seals duct leaks throughout South Bloomfield, OH in South Bloomfield. Pressure testing before sealing to quantify the total leakage in South Bloomfield, OH. Systematic identification of every specific leak point through the accessible system in South Bloomfield. Correct sealant materials applied to every leak point in South Bloomfield, OH. Post-sealing pressure testing to document the improvement with measured numbers in South Bloomfield. And a guarantee on every sealing service in South Bloomfield, OH. Call now for same-day scheduling in South Bloomfield.

Why Correct Sealant Materials Last While Duct Tape Fails in South Bloomfield, OH

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 South Bloomfield. A supply duct carrying cold conditioned air through a 130-degree summer attic cycles through extreme temperatures with every cooling cycle in South Bloomfield, OH. Standard duct tape adhesive is not formulated for this cycling and fails within a few seasons in South Bloomfield. Mastic sealant remains flexible after curing and maintains its seal through years of thermal cycling in South Bloomfield, OH. UL 181-rated foil tape maintains adhesion for 20 years or more in normal duct system conditions in South Bloomfield.

Where Leaks Occur

Where Duct Leaks Occur and Why They Develop in South Bloomfield, OH

At Every Unsealed Duct Joint Throughout the System in South Bloomfield

Every connection between duct sections is a potential leak point in South Bloomfield, OH. In most residential installations, these joints were mechanically fastened without sealant during installation in South Bloomfield. 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 South Bloomfield, OH.

At Branch Takeoffs From the Main Trunk Line in South Bloomfield, OH

Branch takeoffs split conditioned air from the main trunk line into the individual branch runs serving each room in South Bloomfield. They have multiple edges and angles that create significant potential leak area if not correctly sealed in South Bloomfield, OH. Branch takeoff leaks are among the largest individual leak points in typical residential duct systems in South Bloomfield.

At Register Boot Connections in Walls and Ceilings in South Bloomfield

The register boot connects the branch duct run to the wall, ceiling, or floor opening where the supply register mounts in South Bloomfield, OH. 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 South Bloomfield. Conditioned air escaping at the boot level leaks into the wall or ceiling cavity rather than through the register into the room in South Bloomfield, OH.

Why Original Installation Sealant Fails Over Time in South Bloomfield, OH

Systems sealed with standard duct tape develop leakage as the tape dries, cracks, and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in South Bloomfield. Standard duct tape on duct joints typically fails within three to five seasons of thermal cycling in South Bloomfield, OH. Joints that were sealed with standard tape appear sealed when first applied and are open to leakage again within a few years in South Bloomfield.

How Leaking Ducts Create Comfort Problems Room by Room in South Bloomfield, OH

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 South Bloomfield. The conditioned air that leaks out before reaching the register does not reach the room in South Bloomfield, OH. Rooms at the end of long duct runs with multiple leak points along the way receive the cumulative effect of all those leaks in South Bloomfield. 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 South Bloomfield, OH.

What Return Duct Leaks Do to Your Indoor Air Quality in South Bloomfield, OH

Return duct leaks draw air from the surrounding unconditioned space into the return airstream in South Bloomfield. A return duct leak in an attic draws hot, dusty attic air into the air handler in summer in South Bloomfield, OH. A return duct leak in a crawl space draws crawl space air including moisture, mold spores, and soil particulate into the system in South Bloomfield. This unconditioned air bypasses the filter and is distributed throughout the home in South Bloomfield, OH.

FAQ

Duct Sealing FAQs in South Bloomfield, OH

The clearest indicators in South Bloomfield are energy bills that seem high relative to your usage, rooms that consistently will not reach the right temperature, an HVAC system that runs continuously without achieving comfort setpoint, higher than expected dust levels throughout the home, and humidity problems during cooling season in South Bloomfield, OH. Pressure testing is the definitive way to quantify the leakage in your specific system in South Bloomfield.
A duct pressure test connects a calibrated fan to the duct system and pressurizes it to a standard test pressure in South Bloomfield. The airflow required to maintain that pressure is measured in South Bloomfield, OH. The measured airflow represents the total leakage rate of the system in South Bloomfield. MBM Air Duct Cleaning performs pressure testing before and after every duct sealing service in South Bloomfield, OH.
The Department of Energy estimates that typical residential duct systems lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through leakage before it reaches the living spaces in South Bloomfield. In systems with particularly poor sealing or failed original sealant, the loss can exceed 30 percent in South Bloomfield, OH.
Duct cleaning before duct sealing allows the mastic sealant to bond to clean duct surfaces in South Bloomfield. Applying mastic to duct surfaces coated with accumulated dust and debris reduces the bond quality and long-term sealing effectiveness in South Bloomfield, OH. MBM Air Duct Cleaning recommends cleaning before sealing when both services are needed and can coordinate both in a single visit in South Bloomfield.
Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in South Bloomfield. It remains flexible after curing and maintains its seal through the thermal cycling that duct systems experience during operation in South Bloomfield, OH. Standard duct tape uses a rubber-based adhesive that dries and loses adhesion from temperature cycling, failing within a few seasons in South Bloomfield.
Yes. Return duct leaks in crawl spaces draw crawl space air including its elevated moisture content into the return airstream in South Bloomfield. The additional moisture enters the air handler and is distributed throughout the home in South Bloomfield, OH. Indoor relative humidity rises despite the air conditioner running because the additional crawl space moisture load overwhelms the system's dehumidification capacity in South Bloomfield.
Aeroseal is a technology that seals duct leaks from inside the pressurized duct system in South Bloomfield. Aerosolized sealant particles are introduced into the system and travel to leak points where they accumulate and seal the gap in South Bloomfield, OH. It is needed when significant leakage exists in duct sections in wall cavities or ceiling plenums that cannot be physically accessed for manual sealant application in South Bloomfield.
Mastic duct sealant maintains its sealing effectiveness for the life of the duct system when correctly applied in South Bloomfield. UL 181-rated foil tape maintains adhesion for 20 years or more in normal duct system conditions in South Bloomfield, OH. Both materials significantly outlast standard duct tape in duct system applications in South Bloomfield.
Yes. Sealing the duct system reduces the conditioned air loss the system was experiencing and delivers more of the conditioned air the HVAC produces to the living spaces in South Bloomfield. The reduction in leakage translates directly to reduced energy consumption for the same heating and cooling output in South Bloomfield, OH.
Yes for systems with return duct leaks in unconditioned spaces in South Bloomfield. Return duct leaks in attics and crawl spaces draw unconditioned air including dust, moisture, and mold spores into the return airstream in South Bloomfield, OH. Sealing these leaks eliminates the pathway and keeps the circulated air to what is drawn from the living spaces in South Bloomfield.
Duct sealing costs in South Bloomfield range from $300 to $600 for smaller systems, $500 to $1,000 for standard residential systems, $800 to $1,500 and above for larger systems, and $1,500 to $3,000 and above for systems requiring Aeroseal treatment in South Bloomfield, OH. All pricing confirmed upfront before work begins in South Bloomfield.
Yes. Every MBM Air Duct Cleaning duct sealing service is guaranteed in South Bloomfield. If the sealing does not produce the expected improvement within the guarantee period, we return and address it at no additional charge in South Bloomfield, OH.
