The Hidden Leaks in Your Home: Why Traditional Duct Sealing Matters

If you’ve ever noticed uneven temperatures around your home—too hot in one room, too cold in another—your ductwork could be to blame. Many homeowners don’t realize that small leaks in their HVAC ducts can cause 20–30% of conditioned air to escape before it ever reaches your living spaces. That’s wasted comfort and wasted money.

At EDGE Energy, we specialize in diagnosing and sealing these leaks to help your home run more efficiently, stay cleaner, and feel more comfortable year-round.

Why Duct Sealing Matters

Leaky ducts are one of the biggest hidden sources of energy waste in a home. When air escapes through gaps, holes, or disconnected joints, your HVAC system must work harder to heat or cool your home. The result? Higher energy bills, uneven comfort, and more wear and tear on your system.

What Is Traditional Duct Sealing?

Traditional duct sealing is a manual process where trained technicians locate and seal leaks using materials such as mastic sealant, foil tape, and insulation wraps. The process is especially effective when ducts are accessible in basements, attics, or crawlspaces.

At EDGE Energy, our experts use advanced diagnostic tools like blower doors and duct blasters to measure air loss precisely. Then, we seal every joint and seam to restore your duct system’s performance.

Benefits of Traditional Duct Sealing

  • Lower Energy Bills: Reduce wasted conditioned air and keep your HVAC system efficient.
  • Better Comfort: Eliminate uneven temperatures and improve airflow.
  • Cleaner Air: Prevent dust, allergens, and pollutants from being pulled into your ducts.
  • Longer HVAC Lifespan: Reduce strain on your system by improving airflow balance.

Traditional Sealing vs. Aeroseal

Modern aerosol sealing technologies like Aeroseal have grown in popularity, but traditional duct sealing remains a dependable and affordable solution—especially when ducts are physically accessible. It’s hands-on, proven, and allows technicians to inspect your system directly.

EDGE Energy helps homeowners choose between traditional sealing and newer aerosolized methods based on duct accessibility, system design, and budget.

Keep the Air You Pay to Heat and Cool

Your ducts are the hidden highways of your home’s comfort system. If they’re leaking, you’re losing energy every time your HVAC turns on. Sealing them helps your system deliver the air you already pay to heat or cool—where it belongs.
