Heatseal Insulation by Barrier Insulation, Inc. Phoenix Arizona
Where is the hottest place in your home? The attic. Where is the coldest place in your home? The attic. What if all of your ductwork is located in the attic? The losses are staggering. Not just air leaks, the real losses are heat moving into and out of the ducts. Ducts located in cold crawlspaces or cold basements can reap huge benefits from being wrapped.
Consider this: Homes built within the last twenty years have 3.5" to 5.5" of insulation (R11 or R19), in the exterior walls, and 10" to 13" (R30 or R38), inches in the attic. How much is around your duct system? One inch. This is all that protects your costly investment of conditioning your living space and keeping you comfortable. With this economy, can you really afford to overlook this simple, cost effective, do it yourself project? |
