High Efficiency Duct Systems
Duct systems play the most important role in delivering proper central Heating and Air Conditioning into your homeDuct Systems in New Homes
Today's duct systems in new homes have a verified leakage of no more then 6%, where as a home built in the 1970's can have leakage of roughly 35%. These new tightly sealed, low air loss duct systems, can dramatically lower the cost of operation of your Heating and Air Conditioning system. This low air loss is accomplished by the use of a high pressure sealer and high tech tapes and adhesives. In fact, the old cloth-backed gray duct tape has not been used for years.
New Duct Systems
New duct systems also have better, thicker insulation (a higher R value) to stop temperature loss in hot attics or cold crawlspaces. This also leads to lower energy consumption, and lower utility bills.
Benefits of New Ducting
Other benefits of new ducting, besides being energy efficient, and having lower sound levels, include an important benefit for certain homeowners. By reducing the duct leakage, dirt, dust, and other contaminants are prevented from being delivered into the home. Your ducts travel though areas below or above your living space. These areas are just filled with fiberglass, rodent droppings, chemicals, toxins, etc. These odors, gases, and particulates can be brought into the home via a duct system that has leaks.
So whether it's reducing your utility bills, lowering the sound levels of your system, or providing cleaner air in your home, a new duct system may be the key to solving many problems.
