For homes and businesses with forced-air heating and cooling systems, duct sealing is an often overlooked yet essential service. Proper sealing won't just save you money, it will help your system run more efficiently year-round—and that's just scratching the surface of this service's many benefits. 

Here are the top three reasons why residential and commercial customers should consider duct sealing to improve their heating and cooling system performance:

• Improved Comfort: Rooms that get too cold in the winter or stay too warm in the summer turn what should be a comfortable living or working space into an uncomfortable one. Duct sealing and insulation will help regulate indoor temperatures, ensuring that hot or cold air is equally distributed throughout each room. 
• A Safer, Cleaner Indoor Environment: There are safety concerns that come along with leaky ductwork. Backdrafting, for instance, can draw carbon monoxide and other harmful combustion gases back into your home or workplace when they should be released outdoors. Properly sealed ducts will keep this issue in check, while also properly filtering out other pollutants to improve indoor air quality. 
• Better Overall Efficiency: Duct sealing improves the energy efficiency of your heating and cooling equipment, reducing your energy usage. In addition to lowering your utility bills each month, duct sealing also helps protect the environment by limiting air pollution.

From personal to environmental, the benefits of having your ducts sealed are plentiful. Take care of your system today, and you won't have to deal with bigger problems like costly heating and air conditioner repair in the future.
