Mr. Duct Cleaner knows that it is the season for basketball madness. But we also know that it is ALWAYS the season for basketballs of air leakage!
When an HVAC or Indoor Air Quality professional talks to you about the air leakage in your HVAC system, they refer to something as a “CFM of leakage.”
CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute of air leaking. That can be tough to visualize, so think of the air it takes to fill up one basketball.1 CFM = amount of air it takes to fill one basketball.
95% of homes in the United States have a significant amount of leaking CFMs. That leakage drastically affects utility bills and creates unbalanced air, health, and humidity issues. Also, 100 CFM of return leakage can create 10 gallons of water in a 24-hour period (Source: ACHR The News).
How can you fix that leakage? The old-fashioned way is to redo all the ducts in your HVAC duct system and tape and hand apply seal to all the joints. This costs tens of thousands of dollars and takes significant time and causes construction coordination headaches.
The newest, most efficient and effective way is to have the professionals at Mr. Duct Cleaner perform an Aeroseal Clean Seal repair. We thoroughly clean your entire system and then we use a specially designed machine that sprays the heated sealer throughout the pressurized duct system, allowing the sealant to find and seal holes that are up to 5/8 of an inch big. (we physically repair any holes that are bigger than that)
This year- you can apply a tax credit up to 30% of the cost of the Clean Seal – which means your duct cleaning is FREE. In addition to the tax credit, you can use your utility savings to pay for the financing of the Clean Seal, effectively fixing the problem for FREE.
