Columbia Gas Cold Weather Minute: Save Money with a Properly Sealed Duct System
December 23, 2009
A properly sealed duct system can increase your heating system’s efficiency by as much as 20 percent. Sealing and insulating ducts increases efficiency, lowers energy bills, and can help improve air quality in your home. Seal air leaks in ducts using mastic sealant or metal tape. Never use duct tape, as it is not long-lasting. Also make sure connections at vents and registers are well-sealed where they meet the floors, walls and ceiling.
