Stay Comfortable with Proper Duct Sealing
Leaky ducts waste energy and hurt indoor comfort. When air escapes through gaps or holes, your HVAC system works harder—leading to higher bills and uneven temperatures. By sealing and insulating your ducts, you’ll enjoy more stable heating and cooling, healthier indoor air, and improved efficiency. Want to save money and feel better at home?

Duct Sealing: How It Works and Why It Matters
Duct sealing is about stopping air leaks and ensuring your HVAC system sends conditioned air exactly where it's needed. By reducing leaks, you boost efficiency and comfort in every room. Here's what makes duct sealing so valuable:
- Reduces Energy Loss— A typical home can lose up to 30% of its conditioned air through leaky ducts. Sealing those leaks can cut utility bills and lighten your system’s workload.
- Improves Airflow & Comfort — Properly sealed ducts keep the temperature consistent from one room to the next, so you don’t have hot or cold spots in your home.
- Boosts Indoor Air Quality — Gaps in ductwork can draw in dust, dirt, or even pests. Sealing prevents unfiltered air from entering the system, giving you cleaner air to breathe.
- Achieves More Even Humidity — By stopping unwanted airflow, you help your home maintain more balanced humidity levels year-round.
- Works with Existing Systems — We use proven methods like mastic sealant and, where needed, advanced solutions like Aeroseal—no major renovations required.

6 Reasons to Consider Professional Duct Sealing
1 High Utility Bills
Leaks force your HVAC to run longer, burning extra energy. Sealing keeps conditioned air inside the ducts and more money in your pocket.
2 Hard-to-Heat or Cool Rooms
If certain areas of your home never seem comfortable, leaky ducts may be starving them of proper airflow. Sealing ensures every room gets its fair share.
3 Dust & Debris
Unsealed ducts can pull in dirt from attics, crawlspaces, or wall cavities. That extra dust recirculates through your home and lands on every surface.
4 Unstable Humidity Levels
When air leaks out, warm or cool air from unconditioned spaces can sneak in, making humidity levels fluctuate unpredictably.
5 Frequent HVAC Strain
The harder your system has to work to move air, the more wear and tear it experiences—leading to more frequent repairs or breakdowns.
6 Better Indoor Air Quality
Leaks can introduce pollutants and allergens. Duct sealing keeps out contaminants and ensures the air you breathe is cleaner and healthier.
INFO CENTER
All About Duct Sealing: Key Details, Tips, and Benefits for a Worry-Free Home
Do you have to tear down walls to fix hidden leaks?
Not usually. For leaks in hard-to-access spots, solutions like Aeroseal allow us to seal ducts from the inside without major renovations.
Is duct sealing worth it if my system is old?
Yes. Even older systems benefit from reduced leakage. Sealing prevents air loss and can help extend the life of your existing equipment.
How can I tell if my ducts are leaking?
High utility bills, uneven temperatures, and dusty air are common signs. A professional duct blaster test identifies exact problem areas.
Why 4% duct leakage or less?
We aim for 4% or lower leakage because it’s a very tight standard. This level typically keeps energy loss and airflow issues to a minimum.
Does duct sealing also help with humidity issues?
Yes. By reducing air leaks, sealed ducts help maintain consistent humidity levels—especially important in humid climates like Atlanta.
