Energy Losses and Comfort

Typical duct systems lose 25 to 40 percent of the heating and cooling energy put out by the central furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner.

Homes with ducts in a protected area such as a basement may lose somewhat less than this while some other types of systems (such as attic ducts in hot, humid climates) often lose more.

Health Hazards

Leakage in the duct system can be hazardous to your health.  Especially problematic are leaky returns in an enclosed space or garage that also contains a furnace.

You should not attempt to repair duct leaks.  Safe duct repair requires a licensed HVAC contractor such as Doctor Cool and Professor Heat that specializes in duct installation and repair.
