So, you know that the rooms that are closer to your furnace get the warm air first, but even those at the end of the ductwork run should be getting warm air, right? You might have noticed that some vents that are far from the furnace have very low airflow. What might be happening is that you may be losing air all along your ductwork beyond just the openings for the vents. When you lose more air than planned, this means that your furnace has to work longer and harder to heat the rooms in your Aston, Philadelphia, Springfield, Swarthmore, West Chester, Wilmington, or surrounding area home. You should look at an air duct sealing from Advanced Air Service Group to help boost the efficiency and effectiveness of your HVAC system.
What Does Air Duct Sealing Entail?
You might be wondering how the process works, or how they can tell how much air you are losing through holes in your ductwork. First, the technicians will cover up all known places where the air comes through, such as the vents in different rooms. This is to force air to go through the holes and will provide a way to determine just how much air is being lost. The technicians will blow air into the ductwork, and they know how much volume is being sent in. They will then provide a readout to show how much air is being lost from your ductwork.
Now that you and the technicians know how much air is being lost, that is the baseline to work from. At this point, the technicians will introduce the sealant into your home’s ductwork, and with the air movement, the sealant will move toward the holes to plug them. After the sealing has been completed, a new test will show you the improvement in your ductwork with the sealant in place.
Benefits of Air Duct Sealing
Air duct sealing is an easy way to boost the efficiency of your HVAC system, and it doesn’t involve tearing into your walls or otherwise dramatically changing your home. These small leaks will be quickly sealed up using this method. Additionally, you as the homeowner will notice immediately that the rooms farthest from the blower are receiving more air than they were before. You will likely also find that your energy expenses are reduced because you aren’t running your heating or cooling system as long as you used to in your Aston, Philadelphia, Springfield, Swarthmore, West Chester, Wilmington, or surrounding area home.
