Did you know the top energy waster in your home is your duct work? I've heard statistics where as much as 95% of American homes has leaky duct work. Some statistics say that as much as 45% of the air that you are paying to heat or air condition your home is being lost through the duct work. and over $25 billion doar is wasted every year in the USA on this problem. So what do you do? I'm going to give you four ways to take care of this and I think if you stick around to the last one on this list, it might surprise you.

Let's dive into this. number one. The first one is what I would call a visual inspection and repair. Having a good Pro Get in there, visually inspect everything.

the duct works in your crawl space or attic. Sometimes they can just look at it and see how it was installed and alleviate some of those problems. Sometimes it's as simple as grabbing some duct tape and some mastic and going around and just attacking the problems that you see. I've seen some pros, even even run cameras down the duct work.

I've seen guys kind of take things loose, make sure that everything is sealed real well and reinstall it and getting a good Pro in there to make some of these repairs could make a big difference. In fact, we've had customers at my company where we have done some of these repairs and the customer even say hey I feel better airf flow coming out of the vents Number two: you could replace the duct work so if you've got duct work that you know that it's bad off enough, it doesn't matter how much tape you get in there, the duct work kind of seen better days and you can just replace it, replace it new, replace it with somebody that's not going to cut corners and everything should be tiptop shape and new. Number three: you could do a duct work test and there's different tests out there. But essentially the idea with like, say, a duct blast test is they're going to pressurize that system, find leaks.

The problem with some of these tests is common sense would tell you that the duck brick is going to fail. so a lot of these tests are meant to once the repairs are made or the duct work is installed to see how much actual leakage or or loss it's having and if that number is too high then you got to go back to the drawing board. But you can have these tests done to see how much duct loss you're getting and again, if it's after you've put all this new duct work in some localities are even saying on new homes that these tests have to be done, so on new construction, they install the duct work in the system and then they do a duct blast test to make sure that everything's okay and how much leakage the duct work actually has. And finally, number Four I've got a solution for you that whether you've got problems with the existing duct work, whether you've got problems with duct work that is new, you replaced it and it still just doesn't seem like it's up to Snuff And duct Work that you've done a duct Blast test and it's failing.
