Are your ducts energy efficient? We can find out for you.
The central HVAC system in your Auburndale, Florida home is comprised of several components, including the ducts. It’s through these ducts that conditioned or heated air travels to different rooms, making your home more comfortable year-round. However, if there are any leaks in these ducts, that’s energy you’re losing and money you could have saved. The best way to find out whether your ducts are leaking is to contact a professional for duct leakage testing, a service we are more than happy to provide at Polk County Insulation.
With over 30 years of experience, we are qualified to provide accurate duct leakage testing. We will start by installing a minimally invasive fan, called a duct blaster, which is designed to create negative pressure in your ductwork. Once that is in place, we can use a pressure sensor to detect any ventilation changes within the ductwork and determine how much air is escaping the system. If the amount of air escaping is minimal, you may not need to take any action, but if it exceeds recommended levels, then we can assist you with solutions.
Duct leakage testing doesn’t take long to complete—about one to two hours is typical. In addition, you don’t have to leave your home while testing is taking place, so it’s a very convenient service that offers significant insights into your home’s energy efficiency.
