Air Duct Repair Near Sterling, VA

The most obvious sign your air ducts are leaking is if you’re constantly running your air conditioner, but your home never seems to reach the desired temperature. A common misconception amongst homeowners is that their air conditioner and furnace are the ones to blame in this situation, but it is typically your air ducts that are to blame! If you suspect that your ducts are leaking, call (571) 626-5403 to have a professional take a look.

If your air ducts are leaking, the best way to fix them is to have a professional from John Nugent & Sons perform repairs! We typically use cement mastic to seal your ducts, which will also help keep other contaminants out and reduce energy costs!

Your ducts need to be insulated because they can still lose energy otherwise. Even if you have a perfectly balanced system with zero leaks, your air ducts can still lose energy. Imagine how sweltering hot the air inside your attic gets in the summertime… now imagine how effective your bare sheet metal ductwork is if it passes through your attic without insulation! All the cold, conditioned air you are trying to cool your house with is being warmed as it passes through ducts that are not insulated. Some studies have even shown that the same amount of energy lost via leaks can also be lost due to a lack of insulation.
