Increase HVAC System Efficiency with Air Duct Repairs and Retrofitting
Just like your mother used to tell you to wear a hat because you lose much of your body heat through the top of your head, you can lose a significant amount of energy from your home through air duct leaks. Air duct leaks can result from a combination of deterioration or improper installation. According to Mark Ternes from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Energy Division,
"Ducts that pass through unconditioned spaces - attics, garages, or crawl spaces - have a good chance of losing energy. Losses can be very high if the ducts are uninsulated. Even when the ducts are wrapped with insulation, leaks at joints and corners can be big energy losers."
This is why air duct repairs can be an important step to creating a more efficient heating and cooling system in your home or business. St. Louis Air Duct Cleaning and HVAC Service Company can seal troublesome leaks in your ducts, which could be costing you significant amounts of money due to wasted energy. We locate and seal leaks in supply ducts, which leak your heated and cooled air to areas like your attic, crawl space, or in between floors. These areas do not need to be heated or cooled and therefore, these air leaks, if not repaired, are wasting energy.
Air Duct Repairs and Retrofitting Reduce Energy Costs and Save Money
Results from a recent study performed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Phoenix, Arizona, prove the importance of retrofitting and repairing air ducts. In year 2 of this 2 year study, researchers found and repaired leaks in the ducts of 80% of the 100 houses reviewed in year 1. The results of this duct retrofitting were conclusive. Researchers proved that houses with newly sealed ducts reduced their energy consumption by an average of 16%. This means that air duct repairs and retrofitting can actually pay for themselves through your energy cost savings in just several years.
