Duct Blasting

Accurate Insulation Grand Junction offers comprehensive duct blasting services to identify and eliminate duct leaks, ensuring your HVAC system operates at peak efficiency. Our professional duct leakage testing helps improve indoor air quality, reduces energy costs, and enhances home comfort.

What is Duct Blasting?

Duct blasting, also known as duct leakage testing, is a specialized diagnostic process used to measure the airtightness of your HVAC ductwork. This test identifies leaks within the duct system that can lead to energy loss, reduced system efficiency, and compromised indoor air quality. We help you maintain an efficient and effective HVAC system by pinpointing and sealing these leaks.

The Importance of Duct Airtightness

Duct airtightness is crucial for the optimal performance of your HVAC system. Leaky ducts can cause:

• Increased energy bills: Air leaks force your HVAC system to work harder, consuming more energy and increasing utility costs.
• Uneven heating and cooling: Leaks can lead to inconsistent temperatures throughout your home, affecting comfort.
• Poor indoor air quality: Leaky ducts can introduce dust, allergens, and other contaminants into your living spaces.
• Strain on HVAC system: Overworking your HVAC system can reduce lifespan and lead to costly repairs.

How Duct Blasting Works

Our duct blasting process is thorough and precise, ensuring we identify and address all leaks in your ductwork. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Preparation: Our technicians seal all supply and return registers to isolate the duct system. The HVAC system is turned off during the test.
2. Setup: We connect a calibrated fan and a duct blaster to the duct system. This fan pressurizes the ducts to measure the amount of air leakage.
3. Testing: The fan blows air into the ducts, and our specialized equipment measures the air leakage rate. We use this data to determine the duct system’s airtightness.
4. Detection: We use smoke pencils, infrared cameras, and other diagnostic tools to locate specific areas where air is escaping.
5. Reporting: After the test, we provide a detailed report outlining the leakage areas and recommending targeted sealing solutions.
