Duct Encapsulation
Why Duct Encapsulation Matters
The attic is the worst possible place for ductwork and HVAC equipment. In Oklahoma, it’s common for heat and air systems to be installed in the attic, along with the ductwork. This setup actually exposes your ducts to extreme temperatures, reducing efficiency and compromising air quality.
According to the U.S. EPA, most ductwork leaks between 20–30% of the air you’ve paid to heat or cool. This lost air results in:
- Higher utility costs
- Increased wear and tear on your HVAC system
- Uncomfortable living spaces
Common Issues with Ductwork
Ductwork in attics often has:
- Leaks and Gaps: Air escapes through poorly sealed joints and splices.
- Dirty Return Air: Ducts pull in hot, dirty attic air in summer and cold, musty air in winter, reducing indoor air quality.
- Insufficient Insulation: Fiberglass insulation alone doesn’t provide adequate protection against extreme attic temperatures.
