Air duct test, seal and repair rebate

Your ductwork repairs include:

• Repair any major duct system issues, such as disconnected, crushed, restricted or poorly supported ductwork.
• Replace equipment door panel seals as needed, or seal equipment panels with UL-181 foil tape.
• Seal all electrical and refrigerant penetrations through equipment.
• Mechanically fasten and seal the connection between the air handler and plenums.
• Mechanically fasten and seal all supply and return plenum seams and end caps.
• Mechanically fasten and seal the connection between take-off collars and supply and return plenums.
• Mechanically fasten and seal the inner liner of all supply and return ducts to take-off collars.
• Mechanically fasten and seal all duct-to-duct connections, seams, sectioned metal elbows, branch T's, Y's and L’s.
• Mechanically fasten and seal inner liner of all supply and return ducts to supply boots and return boxes. The inner liner may be sealed from inside the living space.
• Insulate any exposed ductwork and replace any insulation removed or pulled aside.
• Ensure all supply boots are fastened to framing material with screws or roofing nails.
• Seal all gaps between the subfloor, wall or ceiling and the supply boots and return boxes.
• Seal all seams of each supply boot and each return box.
• Seal all panned returns and return air chases from lower floor walls to the attic.
• Seal all equipment platforms in closets or garages.
• Duct static readings are recorded both before and after any duct repairs.**

**Contractors may recommend increasing and adding additional return air ducts before sealing ducts. Declining a contractor's recommendation to properly size the duct system prior to duct sealing may reduce the air-conditioning system’s cooling capacity, which could cause energy costs to increase.
