Attic, garage or crawl space: tell us where the ductwork runs and how it is reached.
Sweating ducts, rooms that never cool, or torn insulation you can see in the attic.
Accessible ducts are checked for leaks, damage and missing insulation.
Leaks are sealed and the ducts wrapped and secured.
You get photos of the insulated runs.
The attic can be much hotter than the house. ENERGY STAR recommends insulating ducts in attics, crawl spaces and garages.
Yes. Insulation does not stop air leaks; sealing comes first.
No. ENERGY STAR advises never to use cloth duct tape for sealing ducts; use mastic or metal tape.
Cold ducts in a humid attic can collect condensation if their insulation or vapor barrier is damaged.
