Stop Paying to Heat the Attic for Jersey City homes
Ducts that run through attics, basements and knee walls are joined with hundreds of seams. Over the years tape dries out, joints pull apart and boots separate from the ceiling. Every gap leaks conditioned air into unheated space and pulls dusty, unconditioned air back in on the return side.
We start by measuring how leaky the system is, then seal accessible joints by hand with fiber-reinforced mastic and UL-listed foil tape. For leaks buried behind walls and ceilings, we offer aerosol-based sealing that seals gaps from the inside without tearing anything open. A final test shows the before-and-after numbers.
Signs it's time to call
- Some rooms are always too hot or too cold
- Ducts run through an unconditioned attic or crawl space
- Old cloth duct tape is peeling off the joints
- Excessive dust even after cleaning
- High heating and cooling bills for the size of the home
How we do it
- Duct leakage test to measure the starting point
- Visual inspection of accessible trunks, joints and boots
- Mastic and foil tape applied to accessible seams and connections
- Aerosol sealing for concealed ducts where appropriate
- Final leakage test and written results for your records
What you get
Even comfort
More air reaches the far rooms instead of escaping along the way.
Lower energy use
Your system runs less to hit the same thermostat setting.
Cleaner air
Sealed returns stop pulling in attic and basement dust.
Many Jersey City customers pair duct sealing with duct repair & replacement or attic air sealing, so both can be handled in one visit.
