-- Engle Services has released a homeowner guide addressing energy efficiency and indoor comfort through residential HVAC duct sealing, with particular emphasis on the Aeroseal method. The resource targets new homeowners seeking practical solutions to reduce utility costs while improving air quality and temperature consistency throughout their Alabama properties. By focusing on measurable outcomes and federal incentive eligibility, the guide positions duct sealing as an accessible investment for those entering the housing market.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (D.O.E.), leakage in ductwork accounts for 20-30% of heating and cooling energy loss in residential properties. Poorly sealed systems force HVAC equipment to work harder, which can add hundreds of dollars annually to utility bills. In fact, the newly released figures from the D.O.E. put this figure at as much as 30 cents of every dollar spent on heating and cooling that disappears into thin air due to leaks.
For new homeowners managing budgets and unfamiliar with the condition of existing infrastructure, these hidden inefficiencies represent a financial burden that often goes undetected until energy costs accumulate over multiple billing cycles. Properly sealing ducts can lead to "whole-house energy savings" of 10%-20%, which is yet another financial benefit outlined in the new guide.
The benefits of duct sealing are not only financial. Leaky ducts compromise indoor air quality by drawing dust, allergens, and pollutants into living spaces through unsealed joints. The guide explains how sealing prevents contaminants from circulating through the home, a benefit particularly relevant for households with respiratory sensitivities or young children. Studies cited in the resource demonstrate that sealed duct systems eliminate hot and cold spots, create more consistent temperatures throughout the home, and reduce strain on heating and cooling equipment.
The Aeroseal method, highlighted as the centerpiece of the guide, uses a non-toxic aerosol sealant applied from inside ductwork to address leaks in areas that traditional methods cannot reach. Research shows the technology can reduce duct leakage by up to 90 percent and total energy consumption by up to 30 percent, delivering measurable improvements in both efficiency and comfort. Homeowners who have undergone Aeroseal treatment report noticeable reductions in temperature variation and lower monthly utility expenses, with the added advantage of extending the lifespan of their HVAC systems by reducing operational stress.
Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act make energy-efficient improvements, such as Aeroseal duct sealing, more affordable for new homeowners. The guide includes detailed information on eligibility requirements and how to claim these incentives, framing the investment as both an immediate comfort upgrade and a long-term cost-saving measure. By pairing technical performance data with actionable financial guidance, the resource equips readers to make informed decisions about home maintenance priorities.
