This Alexandria VA apartment had HVAC ducts that ran adjacent to the windows and sliding doors that lead to the outside patio/deck area of the living space. This left the HVAC ducts susceptible to impact from the external temperatures which caused the HVAC to run more often than it should have needed too. This also lead to added noise for the residents when the HVAC system was running. Our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro visited the home and found a solution to help protect the HVAC ducts from external temperatures and to reduce the noise coming from the HVAC system. Pedro advised that the HVAC ducts be encapsulated in spray foam insulation. Our production team removed the drywall around the HVAC ducts to gain access to each side and then applied spray foam to cover the ducts. Once dried, the spray foam was shaved down to make it flat around the HVAC ducts and allow to reinstall the drywall that had been cut away.
