Our home’s ducts... are a common source of energy losses.
In Idaho the ducts are typically located in attics and crawlspaces which are outside the heated or cooled spaces of the house. Ducts in these locations not only leak air to and from these areas, but any heat lost in winter or gained in summer through the walls of the duct is also wasted energy instead of heating and cooling the house.
This combination of air leaks and heat conduction losses means that a great deal of the energy (and money!) used to heat or cool the house actually ends up in your attic or crawlspace.
To save energy you should have your ducts inspected for air leaks. Look for sections that are separated and look for possible cracks and holes.
Duct insulation is a very cost effective investment, namely in the case of ducts located in unconditioned areas such as attics or crawlspaces.
Savings through duct sealing and insulation
If your duct system is poorly sealed and insulated, sealing and improving its insulation can reduce your heating and cooling costs. Statistics state average losses of 20-30%.
