Farmers Branch FAQ

Can I seal ductwork myself with tape from the hardware store?+

Standard duct tape performs poorly over time despite the name. Proper sealing uses mastic sealant or foil tape rated for HVAC use, and finding every leak often means accessing attics or crawlspaces most homeowners don't regularly enter.

Will duct sealing definitely fix my comfort complaints?+

Only if duct leaks are actually the cause. If the real issue is equipment sizing or insulation, sealing ductwork alone won't fully solve it, which is why we connect any inspection to your specific complaint first.
