Additional Return Air Runs or Leaking Ductwork
Solve many airleak and ductwork problems!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leaking Ductwork Costs Money
Many ductwork systems due to age, type of installation materials used, damage over time, lose their seal and begin leaking air into crawl spaces, basements or attics. This is a major reason for poor air flow or hot/cold spots in your home. By having a trained technician inspect your existing ductwork system and checks for leaks we can identify if you are wasting energy from the ductwork system. Most repairs can be made in less than a day and save you big on your utility bills!!!
Studies conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy and the E.P.A., state leaky ductwork accounts for 10 to 30% of total heating and cooling costs. If the duct leakage is 20% of the total air flow, the efficiency of the cooling system can drop by 50%. Heating efficiency is similarly affected. Duct leakage reduces cooling and heating output, increases energy consumption, and lessens equipment life.
While the increase in energy costs is significant, protecting health and safety is one of the most important reasons to seal duct systems. Ducts are usually located in the attic, crawl space or basement. If the return ducts leak, they draw air from these areas directly into the home for your family to breathe. This air can contain dust, mold, mildew, excess humidity, and potential pesticides for termite treatment, combustion gases and radon. Not the kind of things you want in your air to breathe.
Additional Return Air
Low return air is a very common problem for systems that were either poorly designed or originally planned for heating only applications. Adding additional returns to your system allows greater supply of air into your home providing better air flow and comfort for your family. The benefits you will receive by taking care of this problem are: quiter operation, lower utility bills and best of all, better comfort in your home!!!
