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.
Duct repairs could be the most
important energy improvement measure you can do...
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. |
