Signs Your Ductwork Might Be Leaking

Not sure if your ducts are the problem? Here are some of the most common signs:

Uneven heating or cooling between rooms: Certain rooms stay too hot or too cold no matter how you adjust the thermostat.

Higher energy bills without changes in usage: Your HVAC system is working harder than it should due to air escaping through leaks.

Excessive dust near vents or in rooms: Leaky ducts can pull in attic or crawl space dust and circulate it indoors.

HVAC system runs longer than normal: Your system may struggle to maintain your set temperature due to airflow loss.

Musty smells or drafty rooms: Gaps in your ductwork can draw in damp air, mildew, or outside odors.

Noisy airflow or whistling from vents: Whistling or rattling noises may point to gaps, cracks, or pressure issues in the ductwork.

Our Proven Air Duct Sealing Process

At AirFlow Heating & Air, we’ve developed a streamlined duct sealing process that’s fast, effective, and minimally disruptive to your daily routine.

1. Evaluation: We inspect all accessible ducts, check for air pressure loss, and pinpoint trouble spots.
2. Sealing: We use mastic sealant, foil tape, or aerosol-based products to seal all gaps and connections.
3. Performance Testing: We recheck airflow and pressure to confirm improvement and verify a successful seal.

Why Sealing Ducts Improves Efficiency & Comfort

Leaky ducts waste energy by allowing conditioned air to escape into attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities. That lost air means your system has to work harder—driving up energy bills and reducing comfort.

• Better airflow in every room
• More consistent temperatures
• Improved system performance
• Reduced system strain and longer HVAC lifespan

Energy Savings: Lower Bills & Less Waste

According to ENERGY STAR, the average home loses 20–30% of conditioned air due to duct leakage. That’s like throwing away one out of every three dollars on your energy bill.

Sealing ducts can significantly reduce that loss—and save you hundreds annually on heating and cooling costs.

Common Causes of Duct Leaks in Sacramento Homes

Sacramento’s hot summers and aging housing stock create the perfect storm for duct problems. Leaks often occur due to:

✔️ Old or poorly installed ductwork

✔️ Vibration and settling over time

✔️ Rodent or pest damage

✔️ Duct insulation degradation

✔️ Unsealed seams or disconnected joints

No matter the cause, our team can assess the damage and seal your ducts properly.

Benefits of Professional Sealing vs. DIY Solutions

While it may be tempting to grab a roll of duct tape and try to fix leaks yourself, professional sealing provides:

✔️ Lasting results with proper materials (not “duct tape”)

✔️ Accurate airflow and pressure testing

✔️ Full system assessment beyond what’s visible

✔️ Peace of mind knowing the job was done right

DIY fixes may provide temporary relief, but professional sealing ensures performance and efficiency long term.

Most jobs take between 2–4 hours depending on the size and accessibility of your duct system.

Do sealed ducts really save money?

Yes! Sealing can cut energy losses by 20% or more, reducing both monthly costs and HVAC wear and tear.

Can I seal ducts myself?

Basic patching is possible, but full-system sealing requires tools and expertise to be effective. We strongly recommend hiring a pro for the best outcome.
