As an expert in duct sealing, I have witnessed the consequences of poorly sealed ductwork firsthand. From decreased energy efficiency to compromised air quality, the effects can be significant and costly. That's why I highly recommend using a water-based putty duct sealant to properly seal your ducts. One of the most crucial areas to seal is around the takeoff boots on each branch. These are the points where the ducts connect to the main trunk line, and if not sealed correctly, can lead to air leakage.
Water-based putty is the best option for this task as it is easy to clean and provides a long-lasting seal. When applying the sealant, it is crucial to follow all instructions carefully. This ensures that the ducts are properly sealed and will continue to function efficiently. Improper application can lead to gaps and cracks, which can compromise the effectiveness of the sealant. While some homeowners may choose to use aluminum tape to seal their duct joints, this is not always the most effective solution. That's why I highly recommend using Aeroseal's HVAC air duct sealing process. Aeroseal's process is highly efficient and cost-effective, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial buildings.
It provides long-lasting protection against air leakage, improving air quality and energy efficiency. Not only is Aeroseal's process effective, but it is also safe and reliable. It has been successfully used in homes and buildings in Miami, proving its effectiveness in sealing ductwork.
