STOP WASTING COOLED AIR

Seal Your Leaky Ducts & Start Saving Money

Your ductwork is the circulatory system of your home’s cooling system, delivering refreshing, cool air to every room during our hot and humid summers. However, studies show that the average home loses 20% to 30% of the air that moves through its duct system due to leaks, holes, and poor connections. This means your A/C unit has to work much harder, running longer and more frequently to keep your home comfortable, which leads directly to higher energy bills.

At John Nugent & Sons, we provide professional air duct sealing services for homeowners throughout Northern Virginia, including Fairfax, Arlington, and Alexandria. Our certified technicians use advanced techniques and materials to find and seal every leak in your ductwork. This simple but highly effective service can significantly improve your A/C’s performance, lower your energy consumption, and enhance your overall home comfort.

OUR PROVEN APPROACH

The Duct Sealing Process From Start to Finish

We follow a meticulous, proven process to ensure your ductwork is sealed airtight for maximum efficiency and performance. Our technicians work carefully and cleanly, treating your home with the respect it deserves while delivering lasting results.

System Inspection & Safety Check

Our technicians begin with a thorough visual inspection of your ductwork and perform initial safety and performance tests.

Pre-Seal Diagnostic Testing

We use specialized tools, like a blower door and duct blaster, to depressurize your duct system and precisely measure the amount of air leakage.

Applying the Sealant

We apply a non-toxic, aerosolized sealant to the interior of your ducts. The sealant particles find and bond to the edges of leaks, creating a durable, airtight seal from the inside out.

Post-Seal Performance Test

After the sealing is complete, we run the same diagnostic test again to measure the immediate improvement and confirm the leaks have been successfully eliminated.

Final Report & Completion

We provide you with a detailed report showing the before-and-after leakage rates, so you can see the tangible results of our work.

BOOST YOUR A/C EFFICIENCY

Lower Your Summer Energy Bills

The primary benefit of sealing your air ducts is the significant reduction in energy waste. When you have leaks, a large portion of the cold air produced by your A/C escapes into your attic, basement, or crawl spaces—areas you don’t want to cool. This forces your air conditioner to run for longer cycles to reach the temperature set on your thermostat, driving up your electricity usage.

A more efficient system doesn’t have to work as hard, which not only saves you money on monthly utility bills but also reduces the wear and tear on your expensive HVAC equipment, potentially extending its lifespan and helping you avoid premature replacement costs.

BREATHE CLEANER AIR

Improve Indoor Air Quality and Home Comfort

Leaky return ducts are just as problematic as leaky supply ducts. They can pull unwanted particles and contaminants from your attic, crawl space, or wall cavities directly into your HVAC system. This introduces dust, insulation fibers, pollen, and other allergens into the air that your family breathes.

Sealing these leaks prevents the introduction of these pollutants, leading to cleaner, healthier indoor air quality. For family members with allergies or asthma, this can make a world of difference in their daily comfort and well-being.

Furthermore, properly sealed and balanced ductwork helps to eliminate uncomfortable hot and cold spots throughout your house. By ensuring consistent airflow reaches every vent, you can enjoy a more even and predictable temperature from room to room. This ends the constant thermostat adjustments and creates a more pleasant and comfortable living environment for everyone in your family, no matter the season.

HAVE QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions About Duct Sealing

To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions our customers have about air duct sealing. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our knowledgeable team.

What are the signs of leaky air ducts?

Common signs include unusually high summer and winter utility bills, rooms that are difficult to keep cool, stuffy or dusty rooms, and flexible ducts that are tangled or damaged. You might also notice poor airflow from your vents.

Is air duct sealing really worth it?

Absolutely. For the average home, sealing leaky ducts can be one of the most cost-effective ways to improve energy efficiency. The money you save on monthly energy bills can often provide a quick return on your initial investment, all while making your home more comfortable.

How long does the duct sealing process take?

For a typical home, the entire process usually takes between 3 to 5 hours. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize any disruption to your day and will give you a more precise timeline upon arrival.

What kind of sealant do you use?

We use a safe, water-based, non-toxic sealant that has been used in hospitals and homes for many years. It has very little odor and is completely safe for you, your family, and your pets.

Will sealing my ducts make my house less dusty?

Yes, it can significantly reduce dust. Leaks in the return-air side of your duct system can pull in dust and other particulates from attics and crawl spaces. Sealing these leaks stops those contaminants from entering your airflow and circulating through your home.
