I am quite conscientious about correct home maintenance. Every year, I drain the water heater, repair the refrigerator in addition to hire vent cleaning for the clothes dryer. I correctly unfasten debris from the gutters in addition to change air filters in the vacuum cleaner, heater in addition to air conditioner. In the fall, I inspect the interior in addition to exterior of the house for any areas that require caulk, weatherstripping or insulation. I have the shrubbery mower, furnace in addition to cooling system professionally maintained every year. It never occurred to me to include the air duct in my task list. Because the network of pipes is largely concealed behind walls in addition to ceilings, I forgot all about it. However, the conditioned air that my family breathes in addition to I spend my savings for passes through the system several times per afternoon. It’s responsible for delivering heated in addition to cooled air to the multiple rooms of the house. Any holes or gaps at the seams allows that air to escape. Those imperfections can also draw in unconditioned air in addition to introduce VOCs, stinks, dust in addition to other pollutants into the residing space. When the maximum amount of air fails to reach the intended endpoint, the heater in addition to air conditioner are required to run longer in addition to use more energy. Energy bills go up in addition to there’s an increased chance of malfunction. When I hired a licensed HVAC corporation to test the operation of our home’s air duct, he found that approximately 20% of air was leaking out. He recommended duct sealing. The process was not invasive, damaging or messy. It was completed in a few hours. The professional pumped pressurized air laced with polymer particles into the ducts that sealed up the holes as the air leaked out.
