Your duct system has never been sealed in Bogart. Or it was sealed at installation with standard duct tape that dried and lost adhesion within a few seasons of thermal cycling in Bogart, GA. Or you have had the system assessed and been told that duct leakage is contributing to the efficiency and comfort issues you have been experiencing in Bogart. You are not dealing with a dramatic failure. No rooms have lost heating entirely. No ducts are visibly disconnected in Bogart, GA. But the system is losing conditioned air through dozens of unsealed joints and connections throughout the duct network, and that loss is showing up on every energy bill and in the comfort of every room that is slightly too warm in summer or slightly too cool in winter in Bogart.
Duct sealing is the systematic application of correct sealant materials to every joint, connection, and seam in the duct system to eliminate conditioned air loss in Bogart, GA. It is a proactive efficiency service rather than a reactive repair in Bogart. Where duct leak repair addresses specific active problem leaks that are causing obvious symptoms, duct sealing services address the complete duct system as a comprehensive efficiency improvement in Bogart, GA. The goal is to reduce total system leakage to the lowest achievable level across every accessible joint and connection in the system in Bogart.

Systematic sealing of every accessible joint and connection with correct sealant materials in Bogart, GA. Aeroseal treatment for inaccessible sections where the leakage warrants it in Bogart.

Duct leak repair identifies and addresses specific active problem leaks producing obvious symptoms in Bogart. It is a targeted response to identified problems in Bogart, GA. Duct sealing services is the systematic sealing of every joint and connection in the complete duct system as a comprehensive efficiency improvement in Bogart. It addresses both the obvious leaks and the dozens of smaller unsealed joints that are each losing a small amount of conditioned air that adds up to significant total leakage across the complete system in Bogart, GA.
A duct system that was correctly sealed at installation with professional sealant materials maintains its sealing effectiveness for the life of the duct in Bogart, GA. The problem is that most residential duct systems were not correctly sealed at installation in Bogart. They were assembled with mechanical connections that hold the ducts together but do not seal the gaps at the joint edges in Bogart, GA. Whatever initial sealing was applied was often standard duct tape that fails within a few seasons from the temperature cycling that duct systems experience in Bogart.
Standard duct tape uses a rubber-based adhesive that performs well at room temperature but dries out and loses adhesion when repeatedly exposed to the temperature extremes that supply ducts experience during HVAC operation in Bogart. A supply duct carrying 55-degree air through a 130-degree attic in summer cycles through a 75-degree temperature range with every cooling cycle in Bogart, GA. Standard duct tape adhesive is not designed for this cycling and fails within a few seasons of it in Bogart. Within three to five years of installation, most standard duct tape on duct joints has failed in Bogart, GA.
An individual unsealed duct joint may lose only a small amount of conditioned air in Bogart. But a residential duct system has dozens of joints, connections, branch takeoffs, and register boot connections in Bogart, GA. The small loss at each unsealed joint accumulates across the complete system to produce the 20 to 30 percent total leakage that the Department of Energy estimates for typical residential duct systems in Bogart. Sealing every joint and connection reduces every individual contribution to the total leakage and produces the cumulative improvement that comprehensive sealing delivers in Bogart, GA.
Every percentage point of duct leakage eliminated through sealing is a percentage point of conditioned air now reaching the living spaces in Bogart, GA. For a home spending $200 per month on heating and cooling with 25 percent duct leakage, sealing that reduces leakage to 10 percent saves approximately $30 per month in Bogart. Every month after the sealing service, that saving recurs in Bogart, GA.
A room at the end of a long supply run with a dozen unsealed joints may receive significantly less conditioned air than designed in Bogart. Sealing every joint in the run ensures each room receives its designed conditioned air volume, reducing the temperature variation between rooms that unsealed duct systems produce in Bogart, GA.
Unsealed return duct joints in unconditioned spaces draw air from those spaces into the return airstream in Bogart, GA. A return duct in a crawl space draws crawl space air including moisture, mold spores, and soil particulate into the system in Bogart. Sealing the return duct joints eliminates these unconditioned air pathways in Bogart, GA.
Sealing the duct system reduces the load the HVAC operates under in Bogart. The system runs shorter cycles, the blower operates at designed parameters, and the cumulative wear rate decreases in Bogart, GA.
Air America performs a pre-sealing system assessment and pressure test before any sealing begins in Bogart, GA. The pressure test quantifies the total leakage in the system and establishes the baseline for comparing with the post-sealing result in Bogart. The system assessment identifies any structural duct damage that requires repair before sealing begins in Bogart, GA.
With the system pressurized from the pre-sealing test, Air America technicians systematically work through the accessible duct system to identify every unsealed or inadequately sealed joint, connection, branch takeoff, and register boot connection in Bogart, GA. Every identified sealing point is documented before any sealant is applied in Bogart.
Air America applies the correct sealant to every identified sealing point throughout the accessible duct system in Bogart. Mastic duct sealant for most joint and connection applications in Bogart, GA. UL 181-rated foil tape for specific sheet metal seam applications in Bogart. The correct sealant for every specific application applied at the correct coverage for a lasting seal in Bogart, GA.
Where pressure testing indicates significant leakage beyond what manual sealing of accessible sections can address, Air America provides Aeroseal duct sealing treatment for the inaccessible duct sections in Bogart, GA. The Aeroseal process seals leaks from inside the pressurized duct system, reaching sections that cannot be accessed for manual sealant application in Bogart.
After all accessible sealing is complete, Air America repeats the pressure test to measure the post-sealing leakage rate in Bogart. The before and after measurements document the leakage reduction achieved by the sealing service in Bogart, GA. Written documentation provided to the homeowner confirms the service was performed and the improvement achieved in Bogart.
Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in Bogart, GA. It remains flexible after curing, maintaining its seal through the expansion and contraction that duct systems experience during thermal cycling in Bogart. It does not dry out, crack, or lose adhesion from temperature cycling in Bogart, GA. Mastic is the professional standard and the primary material Air America uses on every duct sealing service in Bogart.
UL 181-rated foil tape is tested and rated specifically for HVAC duct applications in Bogart. It maintains its adhesion through the temperature cycling of duct system operation, unlike standard duct tape whose adhesive fails within a few seasons in Bogart, GA. Air America uses it for specific sheet metal seam applications in Bogart.
Aeroseal seals joints from inside the duct system in Bogart, GA. Aerosolized sealant particles travel with the airstream to leak points where they accumulate and seal the gap in Bogart.

Many duct systems with significant leakage have both structural faults and leaking joints in Bogart, GA. A system with a disconnected section and unsealed joints throughout needs duct repair to fix the disconnection and duct sealing to address the unsealed joints in Bogart.
