Your central duct system is designed to circulate warm and cool air throughout your home to maintain both consistent temperatures and indoor air quality. However, this isn’t an easy task to accomplish because ductwork is often placed within walls, attics, or crawl spaces—all of which are known for having poor efficiency and IAQ. In addition to this issue, poorly installed and sealed duct systems are one of the largest contributors to energy loss in a home, something that ENERGY STAR reports can be up to 30% of your home’s conditioned air.
At Green Team LI, we understand the importance of properly functioning ductwork and offer services throughout Greater New York, including duct sealing, duct replacement, and duct insulation. As home efficiency and heating & cooling experts, we can help you achieve optimal performance, greater indoor health, and more whole-home comfort.
How Your Duct System Impacts Your Home’s Performance
Most HVAC duct systems consist of two major parts: return ducts that pull in unconditioned air from your home, and supply ducts that push out conditioned air. Both return and supply ducts connect to your HVAC system and work in a continuous cycle to keep your home at your desired temperature.
Ductwork placement, installation quality, and airtightness are all crucial components in the performance of a duct system for several reasons:
- Home Efficiency – Leaky ducts can result in significant energy loss, as conditioned air escapes into unconditioned spaces instead of reaching its intended destination.
- Home Comfort – Inefficient duct systems can lead to uneven heating & cooling throughout your home, creating hot or cold spots and compromising comfort.
- Indoor Air Quality – Poorly installed and sealed ducts can draw in dust, allergens, and pollutants, contaminating the air you breathe.
Test Your Duct System’s Efficiency with an Energy Audit
When comfort and indoor air quality issues arise in your home, it can be difficult to pinpoint the source. This can result in money wasted on ineffective improvements that still leave you with the problem. At Green Team LI, we think the best way to find a reliable and long-lasting solution to any home efficiency or comfort issues is with an energy audit.
During this comprehensive analysis of your home, we’ll assess your ductwork and discover insight into your home’s overall energy usage. From insulation upgrades to HVAC optimization, our energy audit helps you make informed decisions to maximize comfort and efficiency throughout your home.
High-Performance Ductwork Services
Duct Sealing
Our duct sealing services involve identifying and sealing leaks in your duct system to help prevent energy loss, improve indoor air quality, and enhance overall HVAC system performance.
Duct Replacement
If your ductwork is old, damaged, or improperly sized, we can replace it with new, high-quality ducts designed to meet your home’s specific needs. Our expert technicians ensure proper installation for optimal performance and longevity.
Duct Insulation
Insulating your ducts helps prevent heat loss or gain as air travels through the system, improving energy efficiency and reducing thermal losses. Our duct insulation services ensure that your ductwork maintains consistent temperatures and minimizes energy waste. Especially if your ducts are located in an unconditioned area of your home, like your attic or crawl space.
