Duct Insulation & Sealing

Problems with improper duct insulation or duct sealing

Poor or nonexistent duct insulation can waste energy and lead to high energy bills. Most ducts pass through the attic at some point, and if you’ve ever been in the attic during the depths of the winter or the heights of summer, then you likely know attics have a penchant for extreme temperatures.

So what do you think happens to your ducts when they carry cool air through the attic during a warm summer day? You guessed it. The extreme heat in the attic warms the ducts and the cool air your ducts are carrying, wasting much of the energy your air conditioner just put into cooling said air. The same thing happens in the winter as the air you are paying to heat passes through the now cold ducts in your attic. Proper duct insulation can help solve this problem by ensuring that the air inside your ducts is relatively unaffected by the extreme temperatures.
