Sealing and insulating your heating ducts is an important way to to make those Seattle winters a lot less chilly and easier on the pocketbook. Did you know you can save up to 20 percent on your heating bills by simply making sure your ducts are leakproof and well-insulated? It’s true, and SBI can do it all, from sealing to insulating to replacing entire portions of your ductwork.
What We Do
We will evaluate your ductwork in our initial consultation and help you learn if you might qualify for a utility rebate on insulating the HVAC lines in your house. When we come to do the job, our professional team will go section-by-section throughout your house, sealing, insulating and, if necessary, replacing your ductwork to standards usually reserved for professional commercial buildings. This work will include:
- • sealing all joints with mastic, a strong, flexible sealant that contracts and expands with your ducts and withstands moisture
- • replacing any duct lines or joints that are too damaged to be sealed with mastic or other traditional methods
- • insulating your ducts with a layer of either fiberglass, cotton or reflective bubble wrap insulation
It Makes Financial Sense
Enduring another winter with leaky air ducts is only going to result in higher utility bills. And if your ducts are used during the summer to cool your home with air conditioning, you have all the more reason to insulate your ducts. Because 20 to 60 percent of air leakage in a home occurs within the air ducts, utility companies will sometimes pay up to 100 percent in rebates for this work if you qualify.
If you are interested in having us evaluate your home for duct insulation and sealing or want to know if you might qualify for a utility rebate, don’t hesitate. Call or contact us today.
