Real Home Success Story, Seal Those Leaking Heating Ducts | Water ...
Duct Air Leakage and Saving Energy
Real Home Success Story
I have been looking forward to this home audit every since I put it on my schedule. You see, this house and I have a history. This will be the third go round with this house and so far I am batting 500. The first visited was to replace the rather large back deck and get it replaced before one of the kids fell threw the rotten boards. I figure the deck was a win. The second go round was the first home audit that left me scratching my head wondering how the heating duct system could leak so bad without being able to find where all the air was going. I figure that was a defeat. Now, here I am heading out for the third go round. I feel like an old Mohammad Ali fight. I have tried to stack the deck in my favor. I don’t like losing. On this trip, I have invited another Energy Spy Detective named Jay to join me and I have an apprentice Energy Spy Detective named Nathan joining us on the hunt.
The day is beautiful and inspiring. Unusual to see the sky so blue and feel the weather so warm where the surf meets the sand. The highlight of the day will be lunch time when I plan to celebrate a home energy victory with a real, award winning bowl of clam chowder and some fresh buttered garlic bread. It will be worth the wait. Jay, Nathan, and I discuss the up coming challenge during the hour ride. We set forth a plan of attack and get our sleeves rolled up. I am not sure what Nathan is thinking, but he does mention food every once in a while.
The homeowner called me a few days after she had a visit from a gentleman from the power company. Like most of us, she had some concerns about the high electric bills. The power company guy did a duct blaster test and found that the ducts leaked so bad that he would not be able to provide any hands-on work to help out. The company auditor felt that all the duct leakage was to the inside of the house and, therefore, not really a concern. The news that a power company auditor had evaluated the home and left with his hands in the air had sparked my competitive nature. Yes, it’s true, in the world of heating duct pressure testing, ducts are evaluated on their measured air leakage both to the outside of the house and to the inside of the house. If the ducts are leaking to the inside of the house, oh well, that is where you want the air anyway. If the ducts are leaking to the outside of the house, oh my goodness, now we are trying to heat or cool the great outdoors and that is very of hard on the pocketbook.
