When it comes to improving your home’s indoor air quality and lowering your energy bills, duct sealing might not be the first thing that comes to mind—but it should be. Leaky ductwork is one of the most common reasons for HVAC inefficiency, especially in older or larger homes. If your system isn’t delivering consistent airflow or your energy bills are creeping up, unsealed ducts could be the culprit.
At Integrity Air Conditioning, we believe in helping homeowners and business owners get the most out of their heating and cooling systems. That starts with making sure your air ducts are properly sealed and optimized for performance.
What Is Duct Sealing?
Your HVAC ductwork acts as the delivery system for heated or cooled air. Over time, gaps, holes, and loose connections can develop, allowing air to leak out before it ever reaches your rooms. Duct sealing is the process of identifying and closing these leaks using high-quality sealants or tapes, ensuring the air goes where it’s supposed to—into your living spaces.
Why Is Duct Sealing Important?
Energy Efficiency:
Leaky ducts can waste up to 20–30% of the air your HVAC system produces. That means your system has to work harder to maintain your desired temperature, which drives up energy usage and costs. Sealing your ducts helps reduce this waste, improving your system’s efficiency and lowering your monthly utility bills.
Comfort Control:
Uneven temperatures from room to room? That’s often a sign of duct leakage. Sealing your ductwork ensures consistent airflow throughout your home or business, so every space stays comfortable—no matter the season.
Improved Air Quality:
Leaks in ductwork can pull in dust, insulation particles, and other pollutants from crawlspaces or attics. This contaminated air then circulates through your vents. Proper duct sealing keeps these unwanted particles out of your living areas, leading to cleaner, healthier indoor air.
HVAC System Longevity:
When your HVAC system doesn’t have to overcompensate for leaking air, it runs more smoothly and lasts longer. Duct sealing helps reduce wear and tear on your system, which can prevent future breakdowns and costly repairs.
How Do You Know If You Need Duct Sealing?
Some of the most common signs include hot or cold spots in your home, increased energy bills, excessive dust, or weak airflow from your vents. If you’ve noticed any of these, it’s time to have your ductwork professionally inspected.
At Integrity Air Conditioning, our experienced technicians use advanced tools to locate leaks and seal your ducts properly—no guesswork, just results.
