Duct sealing solves problems with heating

When my hubby as well as I made an offer on a home in Springfield, Missouri, my buddy and I invested into a home inspection, then the report was legitimately thorough as well as revealed only minor problems.

The electrical system, plumbing system as well as heating as well as cooling system were considered safe as well as reliable, but our legitimately first winter season in our current home, my buddy and I had trouble with the temperature control; At first, my buddy and I thought that the heater wasn’t able to keep up with demands.

The outdoor conditions were well below cold with a bitter windchill! No matter how high my buddy and I adjusted the thermostat, certain rooms were typically chilly, but my pal and I also noticed that the heater was running just about non stop. My pal and I weren’t surprised by an especially high utility bill at the end of the month, but when my buddy and I started sneezing as well as suffering headaches every time the furnace started up, I decided to call a local Springfield area HVAC contractor for repair. The serviceman evaluated the heater as well as found nothing wrong, then she then diagnosed the ductwork as well as discovered that there were gaps at the seams as well as numerous small holes. These imperfections allowed the heated air to leak out before reaching the rooms of the home, forcing the heater to work harder as well as consume more energy. Along with wasting conditioned air, the flaws were also pulling in contaminants such as dust as well as fumes, however since the duct system is largely hidden behind walls as well as ceilings, I was upset about a legitimately invasive repair, fortunately the HVAC contractor specializes in Aeroseal duct sealing as well as was able to handle the process by sending highly pressurized air laced with adhesive particles into the system.
