Leaking Ducts

In the average home, leaky ducts account for up to 30% of heating and cooling costs. That is an outrageous amount of money to be spending on nothing. Even more important, however, is the health risk that leaky ducts can pose to you and your family.

When ducts leak, they aren't just letting air out- they are also pulling air in. Consider where most ducts are located: in dark, out of sight places. These are places in the home where contaminants are often found at high levels. This is what gets pulled into the ducts and distributed throughout the home instead of clean, healthy air.

If a leak in the duct lets just 20% of the total airflow escape, then the entire A/C system's efficiency is cut by 50%. Let Rainforest Plumbing & Air technicians come to your rescue. We can test the duct system in your home, determine where the leaks are occurring, and seal them with the best sealing materials on the market (see "Duct Repair").
