Are Your Ducts Causing Wasted Money and Dirty Air?

Monday, March 3rd, 2025

Here’s a scary statistic for you: in the average home in America which has ductwork as part of its HVAC system, up to 30% of the heated and cooled air is lost through leaks in the ducts. Imagine nearly a third of the air you’ve paid so much to get to the perfect temperature being wasted, never making it to your vents.

And that’s the average! Many, many homes have much leakier ductwork, full of holes, cracks, tears, and other damage. Worse, wasted energy (and thus wasted money) is not the only problem. Leaky ducts also allow contaminants into your air. What can you do? We’re at your service.
