Air duct seals are designed to last anywhere from 15 to 30 years. Duct seals should last at least as long as the rest of the duct system, itself. Unfortunately, many duct seals do not end up lasting this long because homeowners fail to have the proper preventative maintenance done on them every year. Having professional maintenance by Hurricane Air Conditioning done on your air ducts every year will ensure that both they and their sealant last as long as they are supposed to.

Duct sealing prevents air from escaping through the ductwork holes. Duct sealing is essential to ensuring that your air ducts run properly and last as long as possible. By ensuring this with duct sealing, you will save the most money you can on your energy bills every month.

Whether or not you will need to have your air ducts cleaned before sealing them will have to be determined by a professional HVAC technician at Hurricane Air Conditioning. In some instances, it is necessary, while in others it may not be. You will need a Hurricane Air Conditioning professional to assess your air ducts and HVAC system before being able to tell if they need to be cleaned prior to being sealed.

Air duct sealing is reported to reduce the amount of leakage and dust by as much as 90%. If you’ve noticed an excessive amount of dust in your home, call Hurricane Air Conditioning to have a technician see about sealing your air ducts and reducing the amount of dust in your home.

One of the great things about air duct sealing is that the sealant does not actually leave any odors! The material of the air duct sealant does not puff gas over time, so there will be no odor lingering for the life of the sealant.
