The Many Benefits of Air Duct Sealing for Phoenix, AZ, Homeowners  

FOR Energy is pleased to provide professional air duct sealing services to homeowners in Phoenix, Arizona, and surrounding communities. Odds are, you probably don’t give much thought to your home’s duct system, but perhaps you should. 

The duct system in your home distributes conditioned air from your HVAC machine to rooms throughout your house. But did you know that as much as 30 percent of conditioned air can be lost through holes, tears, and leaks in the duct system? It’s true. This forces your HVAC system to work harder to cool your home, which can drive up energy bills and make your home uncomfortably hot. 

Leaky ductwork may also pose a safety issue. Fumes from household chemicals, dust, and insulation particles can enter through openings in the duct system, affecting the air quality of your home and potentially triggering allergy or asthma symptoms. 

Moreover, carbon monoxide and other combustion gases from gas appliances (such as water heaters) that are typically released into the duct system and discharged outdoors can drift into living spaces through ductwork holes–an issue known as backdrafting. 

Signs Your Phoenix-Area Home Needs Duct Sealing  

Since ductwork is hidden behind walls and above ceilings, it can be difficult to identify a leak without the help of a professional duct sealing contractor. Still, there are a few telltale signs that your home may need ductwork sealing: 

• You have one or more rooms that consistently feel stuffy or are difficult to keep cool 

• Your energy bills are too high 

• Your duct system is located in the garage, attic, or crawlspace
