Although I knew there were concerns with the duct plan installed in my home, I was reluctant to hire a professional Heating as well as A/C supplier for service.
I figured the repairs would be seriously pricey as well as cause a good deal of upheaval as well as mess.
The duct plan is a branching network of pipes that is concealed inside walls, ceilings as well as crawl spaces. To access these pipes, I assumed the serviceman would need to tear into the home’s structure as well as locate the leaks a single by a single. It seemed better to live with the energy losses. However, the concerns with ducts got steadily worse until about 30% of the heated as well as cooled air was escaping. My bi-weekly energy costs were large. No matter how high or low I adjusted the thermostat, the home was either chilly chilly in the Winter or swelteringly hot in the summer. We were living with a musty smell as well as abundance of air contaminants all because of the ducts. I finally offered in as well as hired a local Heating as well as A/C supplier that specializes in duct repair. The serviceman explained the sealing process as well as I was amazed by the technology as well as simplicity. By using pressurized air laced with adhesive particles, the holes as well as leaks in the ducts were sealed from the inside out. First, the serviceman blocked off the supply as well as return vents. He then injected the pressurized air into the system. As the air escaped through the multiple flaws, the polymer adhesive particles gradually built up along the edges as well as created an airslender seal. There was no mess, no injure as well as no unpleasant odor. The process was completed in a few hours as well as is guaranteed for 10 years.
