Is Your Ductwork Wasting Energy?
Do you have ducts in your attic or crawlspace? You might not have thought much about them—until you realize they’re leaking air you pay for to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
At Healthy Home™ Energy and Consulting, we know how much energy—and comfort—can be lost through unsealed and uninsulated ductwork. These hidden leaks force your heating and cooling system to work overtime and leave you with uneven temperatures, poor indoor air quality, and higher energy bills.
We’ve helped homeowners throughout the Hudson Valley—from Croton-on-Hudson to Northern Westchester—stop losing money and regain comfort with professionally sealed central ductwork systems.
How Much Are Leaky Ducts Costing You?
Every house is different. But most homes with ductwork running through unconditioned spaces (like attics or basements) are losing conditioned air through gaps and seams.
Here’s what that means for your home:
Warm or cool air leaks out before it reaches your living spaces. You end up with rooms that are too hot or too cold.
Dirty air from attics or wall cavities can get pulled into your ducts, reducing indoor air quality and putting strain on your HVAC system.
All that wasted energy can add up to hundreds of dollars a year in lost efficiency — and a significantly less comfortable home.
Building Science-Informed Duct Sealing: A Proven Fix for Energy Waste
The good news? Sealing ductwork is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve home energy efficiency — and our team makes it easy.
We use industry-standard tools like Duct Blasters and theatrical smoke to pinpoint exactly where your system is leaking. From there, our in-house technicians and building science experts manually seal the gaps and joints using trusted, long-lasting materials. No aerosols, no gimmicks—just experienced professionals doing the job right.
Our process helps:
Improve airflow to rooms that don’t heat or cool evenly
Reduce allergens and dust in your home
Lower your monthly energy bills
Make your HVAC system last longer
Best of all, duct testing and sealing can be done as part of your home energy audit or whole home evaluation, so you get a full picture of your home’s performance in one visit.
Ductwork Insulation
Once your ducts are sealed, it may be that insulating them is the next step to keeping your home comfortable year-round. Duct insulation is especially important in unconditioned areas like attics, crawlspaces, and basements—where extreme temperatures can rob your HVAC system of its hard work. Stop wasting money on energy that's leaking into areas where your family is not.
