Hidden behind walls and above ceilings, your ductwork quietly distributes conditioned air throughout your home—or at least it should. In reality, gaps, loose connections, and deteriorated seals allow heated and cooled air to escape into attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities where it does nothing to improve comfort but everything to increase energy bills.
Reeves Heating & Indoor Comfort, Inc. specializes in professional duct sealing that eliminates these inefficiencies, balancing temperatures across all rooms while reducing the workload on your HVAC system. Properly sealed ducts mean more consistent comfort, lower utility costs, and improved air quality as contaminants from unconditioned spaces can no longer infiltrate your breathing air.
Department of Energy research reveals that typical duct systems lose 25–40% of conditioned air through leaks. Sealing those leaks can reduce heating and cooling costs by 20% or more while extending equipment lifespan by reducing runtime.
Security-Widefield's Housing Stock and Duct Concerns
Security-Widefield features a mix of military housing from the 1960s-70s and newer residential developments, creating a diverse ductwork landscape. Older homes often have sheet metal systems with deteriorated mastic or tape seals, while newer properties sometimes have improperly installed flex duct with pinched sections or disconnected runs.
The area's proximity to Fort Carson means frequent occupancy changes, and during tenant transitions, ductwork modifications are sometimes made without proper sealing. Combined with Colorado's wide temperature swings that cause duct materials to expand and contract, even well-installed systems develop leaks over time.
Building science data indicates that homes with ductwork in unconditioned attics lose up to 30% more energy than systems in conditioned spaces. In Security-Widefield's climate with attic temperatures reaching 130°F in summer, unsealed ducts waste enormous energy.
Call us today at (719) 593-2831 for Duct Sealing Services in Security-Widefield. We'll inspect your entire duct system, identify leak points using diagnostic equipment, and apply professional-grade sealants that permanently eliminate energy-wasting gaps and improve whole-home comfort.
True duct sealing requires more than hardware store tape. Professional service addresses the root causes of air loss and ensures long-lasting solutions:
- Complete system inspection to identify disconnected sections, crushed flex duct, and deteriorated connections common in Security-Widefield's varied housing stock
- Pressure testing to quantify leakage rates and verify sealing effectiveness after repairs are complete
- Professional-grade mastic and aerosol sealants that remain flexible through temperature extremes and won't degrade over time
- Strategic sealing of return air leaks that can draw in attic insulation fibers, dust, and unconditioned air
- Airflow balancing to ensure every room receives proper conditioned air after leaks are eliminated
Field studies demonstrate that professionally sealed duct systems reduce energy consumption by 15–30% compared to untreated systems. Beyond energy savings, sealed ducts improve indoor air quality by preventing infiltration of allergens, insulation particles, and combustion gases from garages or mechanical spaces.
