Duct Sealing Services in Omaha
Here’s a startling statistic, straight from the U.S. Department of Energy: approximately 30% of the air that moves through the ductwork in a home is lost to air leaks. That is a substantial amount of air that you pay to heat or cool your home that never even reaches the living spaces. And chances are high that you aren’t aware this is waste is happening.
The way to stop this loss of air and air pressure inside a home’s ventilation system is to contact professionals to arrange for duct sealing. This isn’t a job you should take on yourself with duct tape and a bit of ambition. Duct tape won’t work in this case (it isn’t really designed for ducts) and it requires experts with the best equipment to properly restore the ductwork’s airtightness. If you are local to the Omaha area you only need to pick up the phone and call Getzschman Heating to schedule the skilled duct sealing your home may need.
The ductwork specialists at Getzschman Heating offer duct sealing services in Omaha, NE and the surrounding areas. Contact us today for an appointment.
Ways to Tell That You Need Air Duct Sealing
Since most of your ductwork remains hidden behind walls and ceilings, how can you tell that it is losing air through breaks and holes? There are some signs to watch for. Here are a few:
- Increased energy bills: That 30% loss of air through leaks will mean paying more on your energy bills to heat and cool your home. If you have noticed that your utility costs are rising for no obvious reason, it may be because of leaking air ducts.
- Musty smells from the vents: Air leaks often open onto areas of the home that have stale or musty air, like the spaces between walls. Musty odors from vents often means air drawn in through gaps in the ducts.
- Odd noises from the ducts: Damage along the ductwork will often lead to rattling and pinging sounds.
Call for HVAC professionals as soon as you notice any of these warning signs.
Benefits of Professionally Sealed Ductwork
With experts on the job, you can expect to have all the leaks in your ventilation system detected through special testing and then sealed with mastic or metallic tapes. This will restore your ductwork to its original air tight condition and see that your HVAC system works at maximum efficiency. Sealed ducts will prevent a drop in air pressure in the system that will prevent extra stress on the AC and heater. It will also stop the infiltration of outside particles and humidity that can lead to a decline in indoor air quality. Professionally sealed ducts translate to better comfort, healthier air, and lower heating and cooling bills.
