|  Air  Duct Sealing for Health & Safety
Give  us a call and we can decisively show you where your home is being invaded by  dust and other contaminates. We will use a particle counter to find out exactly  how much your indoor comfort system (HVAC) is adding to your indoor air  pollution. We  can demonstrate to you which type of air filtration device will be best for  your needs and we can determine which ducts are leaking and what can be done  about them. You have to give us a call…we will handle the rest. Why  do leaky ducts contribute to poor indoor air?It  really is simple and it will make a lot of sense to you. The supply ducts,  these are the pressurized ducts after the furnace and before the room air  registers, have many more joints and connections than the return air ducting  (you may not even have return air ducting) that is before the air filter. If  these joints do leak, all of them leak on systems pre-2008 (before duct testing  was a requirement), the home loses air into the attic or under the home. This  creates a vacuum in the home. The vacuum must be satisfied. T o satisfy the  vacuum air infiltration occurs throughout the home. Air  travels backwards through the bathroom fans
 Air  travel backwards through the stove hood
 Air  travels backwards through the water heater flue and furnace flue
 Air  leaks occur through plumbing penetrations and electrical penetrations
 Air  leaks around windows and doors
 Air  leaks around electrical boxes, ceiling fixtures
 That  is the short list. Obviously we cannot fix every one of these leaks and allow  the home to exist in a vacuum. The cost would be too great. The answer is  simple, seal the ducts and prevent the home from becoming a vacuum sucking in  contaminated air from around all these penetrations. What  is Air Duct Sealing?That  will depend upon what type of ducts you have, where they are located and what  they are made out of. Give us a call. We will come out for free and test your  system to determine what method or methods of indoor air quality are best for  you, your family and your budget. It is a free estimate. |
