Duct Sealing Rebates
About Duct Sealing
What is Duct Sealing?
Homes that have forced-air heating and cooling systems use ducts to move air from the heating or cooling source throughout the home. Duct sealing in your home allows for proper airflow, creating a comfortable living space. Even in new construction, approximately 20% - 40% of the air flowing though the ductwork is lost through poorly sealed areas, holes and leaks. In older homes the duct loss can be much more. PTCS Certified Technicians use a product called mastic to ensure longevity and quality assurance when sealing ducts. Mastic is a flexible sealant that never fully hardens and expands and contracts concurrently with ductwork.
Ways to tell if your ducts are performing poorly:
- Extreme summer and winter utility bills related to household heating and cooling
- Room temperature seems to be inconsistent or difficult to heat or cool
- Ductwork is in an unconditioned living space such as attic, crawlspace, or garage
- Flexible ductwork has kinks, restricting airflow
A duct system that is well-designed and properly sealed can make your home more comfortable, energy efficient and safer.
