Leaking ducts push heated air into basements, crawl spaces, attics and wall cavities instead of the rooms paying for it. The signs are upstairs rooms that never reach the thermostat setting, a furnace that runs far longer than it should, dust drawn in through return leaks, and bills that do not match the equipment rating. Older East Liberty, OH homes with ductwork retrofitted into houses built for gravity heat or radiators are particularly prone to it.
Common leak points are loose takeoffs at the plenum, unsealed boots behind registers, crushed or torn flex duct, and separated joints in the return. Sealing is measurable work: the system can be pressure-tested before and after. Pro HVAC connects homeowners in East Liberty, OH with HVAC professionals who do this properly. Call (321) 463-9811.
