This Burke VA home was having comfort issues with different rooms in the home being different temperatures. The homeowner found themselves repeatedly adjusting the AC temperature trying to make the rooms more comfortable. Our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro was called out to inspect the home and try to find a solution. Pedro determined that the temperature differences were due to the conditioned air from the HVAC system not maintaining is intended temperature after travelling through the long system of HVAC ducts in the home. Pedro advised that the HVAC ducts be treated with spray foam to insulate and protect the conditioned air travelling through the ducts. Our production team applied the spray foam to the duct system as well as the rim joists of the home, controlling the flow of air in and out of the home.
Exposed Ducts
Unsealed and exposed ducts are susceptible to temperatures in the home impacting the air inside.
HVAC Duct Joints
The seams of this HVAC duct had small gaps that allowed conditioned air travelling within to escape at the joints.
Uninsulated Duct Work Before
Before spray foam was applied, these ducts were able to be influenced by temperatures in the rooms they passed through.
After Spray Foam Encapsulation
Air sealed and insulated ducts are covered with spray foam.
Ducts Spray Foamed
After spray foam is applied these ducts are sealed and protected.
Ducts Insulated with Spray Foam
Insulated ducts perform better at delivering conditioned air to the rooms of the home.
