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

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

A sealing service that reduces leakage by 15 to 20 percentage points returns that proportional energy cost reduction on every subsequent energy bill in Statesboro, GA. For a home spending $200 per month on heating and cooling, a 15 percent leakage reduction saves approximately $30 per month in Statesboro. A sealing service costing $500 to $1,000 pays for itself in energy savings within 18 to 36 months in most cases in Statesboro, GA. Every month after payback is net return on the investment in Statesboro.
