Having your air ducts sealed by a licensed professional will help eliminate opportunities for harmful airborne contaminants to enter your system and ducts, posing a risk to your health. Sealed ducts also help to conserve home heating and cooling costs by reducing unnecessary energy loss.
Air Duct Sealing
Sealing air ducts in your home is a step that can save you both energy and money. Most duct system are sealed with old cloth type duct tape. Often times, that old material will cause the system to leak because the tape no longer has its sealing ability.
Ducts often run through attics, crawl spaces and basements where extreme heat and cold can cause separation at the joints. Permanent sealing requires todays advanced materials. When ducts are properly insulated, you can save even more on energy bills.
Ducts can leak as much as 50%-75% of their cargo of air that has been warmed or cooled. In addition, air contaminated with undesirable particles can leak into your ducts from the attic, crawl space or basement. If you notice a layer of dust drifting in from your air vents, this is an indication that leaks have already sprung.
Inland Valley Heating & Air offers duct inspections, permanent sealing and insulation of the ducts. This is recommended as key energy-saving steps by organizations such as the Alliance to Save Energy. We start by inspecting your ducts. If the system is sealed with duct tape only or if it is already leaking, we recommend sealing with mastic. We can also advise you as to whether additional insulation of your ducts for further energy and cost savings is desirable
Do you or a family member suffer from allergies, asthma or other health problems that are aggravated by poor air quality? You can take a positive step towards purifying the air in your home by ensuring your filters are clean, your air ducts are sealed and your homes heating and air system is running properly.
Air Filtration Solutions
As air passes through the ducts, particles of dust, pollen and dander (fine scales from skin, feathers and hair) settle to the bottom of the duct and accumulate. Micro-organisms like mold, bacteria, fungus and dust mites thrive in this dark environment. Mold and dust mites, in particular, can inflame allergic reactions. Dust mites are microscopic spiders that live in dust. Air exiting the ducts can bring these particles and micro-organisms into the living areas of your home. So, the air system is actually circulating dander, dust, dust mites, pollen, fungus, bacteria and mold throughout your home. These can trigger or aggravate respiratory and allergic reactions. Changing your air filters regularly will help keep your system running smoothly and the air quality in your home clean.
