How Duct Sealing Impacts Energy Bills
Leaky ductwork is one of the most common causes of energy loss in a home. When air escapes before reaching your rooms, your HVAC system has to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. Sealing your ducts helps keep that conditioned air where it belongs, inside your home. Here’s how duct sealing can reduce energy costs:
- Prevents cooled or heated air from leaking into attics or crawl spaces
- Improves airflow so your system doesn’t have to run as long
- Reduces strain on your HVAC equipment
- Helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home
In many homes, especially in the Texas Hill Country where ducts often run through hot attics, air loss can be significant. Sealing those leaks can lead to noticeable improvements in both comfort and efficiency. 72 Degrees Texas can evaluate your duct system and recommend sealing solutions, including advanced options like Aeroseal, to help homeowners in Fredericksburg, Kerrville, and surrounding areas lower energy waste and improve system performance.
