Duct Sealing In Canton, MA
Do you find it difficult to keep your home comfortable? Are your utility costs higher than they should be? In a typical house, about 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through the ductwork system escapes through leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts. Sealing ducts can make your home more comfortable, energy-efficient, and safer, as well as improve air quality.
In addition to sealing ductwork from the outside, we offer the Aeroseal® process which seals your leaky ductwork from the inside with non-toxic material. This process is available for all types of residential and commercial buildings.
As a professional heating and cooling contractor, Green Energy Mechanical Inc also inspects, repairs, and seal ducts using Aeroseal. To request your inspection and free estimate, call us or click below and fill out the online contact form.

Problems Caused By Poor Duct Performance
In houses with forced-air heating and cooling systems, ducts are used to distribute conditioned air throughout the house. Leaky or poorly insulated ducts can result in a variety of problems:
Leaking supply ducts let out the air you’ve paid to heat or cool before it even gets into your home. Leaky return ducts allow unconditioned air from your attic, basement, or crawl space to leak back into your system. In both cases, the air that reaches your living space isn’t as conditioned as it’s supposed to be, so your comfort is compromised.
If conditioned air leaks out before it gets to your living space, obviously you’re not getting what you paid for. If unconditioned air leaks into your system, it takes more energy (and money) to condition it before it reaches your living space. Basically, you could be cooling or heating the great outdoors without even realizing it!
If you have return duct leaks, you could be pumping “bad air” directly into your living space whenever your system runs. You wouldn’t want to breathe crawl space or attic air all day, but if you have this uncontrolled leakage, you might be! Leaky ducts also cause indoor air quality problems because of “pressure imbalances” that put some rooms or areas under positive pressure and others under negative pressure. This can cause unhealthy air (laden with dirt, dust, pollen, allergens, and other contaminants) to be sucked into your home.
Pressure imbalances caused by leaking ducts can cause backdrafts in combustion appliances like furnaces, wood stoves, and gas ranges. When this happens, you risk exposure to carbon monoxide.
