Ducts are an integral part of a forced-air system.
Ducts are used in conjunction with a furnace, heat pump
or central air conditioning unit to circulate heated or
cooled air evenly to every room in the house.
Poorly performing ducts can
leak conditioned air and reduce your system’s efficiency
by as much as 20%, by causing it to work harder to keep
your home at a comfortable temperature.
Further studies conducted by the U.S. Department of
Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
indicate leaky ductwork accounts for 10 to 30
percent of total heating and cooling costs.
Ducts are commonly concealed
in walls, ceilings, attics, basements, or crawl spaces,
which makes it difficult for you to realize you actually
have a problem. Fact of the matter, most
homeowners are not aware they have a problem until it's
called to their attention by excessive monthly energy
bills most often while comparing bills with a friend or
neighbor.
