Frequently Asked Questions

Duct leakage testing is a process that uses a blower door and smoke to identify and quantify air leaks in ductwork. Air leaks can cause a number of problems, including energy waste, poor indoor air quality, and health problems.

There are a number of reasons why you should have your ducts tested for leaks. Leaky ducts can waste energy, which can lead to higher energy bills. They can also reduce the effectiveness of your HVAC system, which can lead to uncomfortable temperatures and poor indoor air quality. Leaky ducts can also be a breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can cause health problems.

We provide duct leakage testing for both homeowners who think they may have leaks in ductwork or low air supply and contractors that need a certificate to present to the township certifying that their duct meets energy code requirements.

Duct leakage testing is done by a certified technician. The technician will use a duct blaster to pressurize your ducts and smoke to identify leaks. The technician will then quantify the amount of air that is leaking out of your ducts.

There are a number of benefits to duct leakage testing. If you have leaky ducts, duct leakage testing can help you identify areas which need repair. This can save you money on your energy bills, improve the effectiveness of your HVAC system, and improve the indoor air quality in your home.

The cost of duct leakage testing varies depending on the size of your home and the number of ducts that need to be tested. However, the cost is typically a fraction of the cost of energy loss by leaky ducts.

If you find out that your ducts have leaks, you should contact a qualified HVAC contractor to repair the leaks. The contractor will be able to seal the leaks and improve the efficiency and comfort of your HVAC system.

If you do not have your ducts tested for leaks, you could be wasting energy, having uncomfortable temperatures, and having poor indoor air quality. You could also be at risk for health problems.

Duct sealing is the process of repairing or covering up any cracks, holes, or gaps in your ductwork. This can help to improve the energy efficiency of your HVAC system and reduce the amount of dust, dirt, and allergens that are circulated throughout your home.

There are a number of ways to seal your ductwork. The best method for you will depend on the type of ductwork you have and the severity of the leaks. Some common methods of duct sealing include:

Duct tape: Duct tape is a quick and easy way to seal small leaks. However, it is not as durable as other methods and may need to be replaced more often.

Duct mastic: Duct mastic is a thick, sticky substance that can be used to seal larger leaks. It is more durable than duct tape and can last for several years.

Duct sealant foam: Duct sealant foam is a spray-on foam that can be used to seal large leaks. It is more durable than duct tape or duct mastic and can last for many years.

Duct wrap: Duct wrap is a fiberglass insulation that can be used to seal leaks and improve the energy efficiency of your ductwork. It is more expensive than other methods, but it is also more durable and can last for many years.

The cost of sealing your ductwork will vary depending on the size of your home, the type of ductwork you have, and the severity of the leaks. However, it is typically a relatively affordable project.
