To detect ductwork leaks, we use an air pressure gauge, along with software to measure the rate of air leaking from your ducts. This process helps us determine the cause of energy losses to make the most efficient ductwork improvements.
Did you know?
Is the ductwork in your Crawl Space bad?
When we feel inconsistent temperatures in our homes, have poor air quality and drafts, most homeowners are quick to replace windows, doors and invest in new heating systems.
However, if the ducts that distribute the air and heat throughout your home are leaky or improperly installed, they may be the real culprit!
Our solution to meet your needs
After extensive testing of your homes ductwork, we will complete duct sealing services in your crawlspace and attic.
Attic Duct Sealing: By sealing the air ducts in the attic, homeowners can prevent air from escaping, which can save energy and reduce utility bills. Sealing attic ducts can also help improve indoor air quality by preventing the circulation of contaminants such as dust, mold, and other allergens.
Crawl Space Duct Sealing: Crawl Space Duct Sealing is an important maintenance task that can help to reduce energy costs, improve indoor comfort, and promote better indoor air quality. The sealing process typically involves identifying any leaks or gaps in the ductwork and then using a specialized sealing material, such as duct mastic or tape, to seal the openings.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the signs that my ductwork needs sealing?
Common signs of leaky ductwork include inconsistent temperatures between rooms, unusually high energy bills, excessive dust throughout your home, and poor indoor air quality. You may also notice your HVAC system running constantly without adequately heating or cooling your space. At FLC Energy, we use specialized air pressure gauges and software to measure the exact rate of air escaping from your ducts, helping us pinpoint leaks in your crawlspace or attic ductwork that may be causing these issues.
How does duct sealing improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality?
Leaky ducts can waste up to 30% of your conditioned air, forcing your HVAC system to work harder and driving up utility costs. Duct sealing prevents heated or cooled air from escaping into unconditioned spaces like crawlspaces and attics, improving your home's energy efficiency. Additionally, sealed ducts prevent dust, mold spores, allergens, and other contaminants from entering your air supply, creating a healthier indoor environment—especially important for those with allergies or respiratory conditions.
What's the difference between attic duct sealing and crawl space duct sealing?
Both attic and crawl space duct sealing address air leaks, but they target different areas of your home's HVAC distribution system. Attic duct sealing focuses on ductwork running through your attic, where extreme temperature fluctuations can cause significant energy loss. Crawl space duct sealing addresses ducts beneath your home, where moisture, humidity, and contaminants are common concerns. FLC Energy provides comprehensive testing and sealing services for both locations, using professional-grade materials like duct mastic and specialized tape to ensure long-lasting, airtight seals.
