Energy Tip of the Month
>> Your home’s duct work is critical to the performance of your heating and air system. In many homes, duct leakage may lower your system’s efficiency by 25 percent.
* Check your ductwork connections. They should be sealed with mastic—an acrylic based product. Never use duct tape.
* Insulate the ducts located in accessible unconditioned spaces with rigid fiber board. (69715-01)
* Vacuum return registers to remove any dust buildup. 
* If you have rooms that are hard to heat and cool, consult with a certified HVAC dealer. These rooms may be lacking sufficient return air flow. If this is the case, consider installing new return-air grilles, a jumper duct or undercutting doors. If the problem persists, another possibility may be to increase the size of the supply duct or to add an additional duct. << |
