Energy Star
Construction Methods – Tight Ductwork

Tightly sealed ducts are crucial for maintaining a home's comfort and energy efficiency. In typical American homes, ducts leak 20-30% of the air forced through them. This means extra money is being spent to heat or cool your home. Duct systems that are sealed and verified by a field test can substantially reduce these leaks. A number of factors can affect the functioning of ducts, including duct sealing, location, insulation and sizing.
