If your utility bills have been creeping up, or spiking every summer and winter, you might blame your AC or furnace. But the real culprit could be your air ducts. Leaky or dirty ductwork is one of the most overlooked causes of poor HVAC efficiency. When conditioned air can’t flow freely or escapes before reaching your rooms, your system works harder and your energy bills rise.

How Duct Problems Waste Energy

1. Leaky Ductwork

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average home loses 25–40% of heated or cooled air through duct leaks. That means you’re paying to cool your attic, basement, or crawl space — not your living room.

2. Dust and Debris Blockages

Dust, dirt, pet hair, and even construction debris can build up inside ducts, restricting airflow. When air can’t move freely, your system runs longer and uses more energy to maintain the same temperature.

3. Unbalanced Airflow

If ducts are clogged or leaking in certain areas, some rooms get too much air while others get too little. The thermostat works overtime trying to even things out, costing you more on every bill.

How Duct Cleaning Improves Efficiency

Professional duct cleaning:

• Removes dust and blockages that choke airflow
• Helps your HVAC system heat and cool your home faster
• Reduces strain on equipment, lowering energy use and repair costs

Cleaner ducts mean your system no longer has to fight to push air through clogged pathways — which translates to real energy savings.

Why Aeroseal Sealing Is the Next Step

Even perfectly clean ducts won’t help if conditioned air is escaping before it reaches your rooms. Aeroseal duct sealing:

• Finds and seals leaks from the inside out
• Prevents energy loss through cracks and gaps
• Delivers more heated or cooled air directly to your living spaces
• Can cut duct leakage by up to 90%, often lowering energy bills by 20–30%
