Technical Description

Heating and cooling equipment and ducts are often located in uninsulated attics and crawlspaces where humidity and temperature extremes can prematurely age the equipment and encourage unwanted heat loss or heat gain to the conditioned air traveling through the ducts. If the ducts are not tightly air sealed, conditioned air can escape from the ducts, resulting in energy loss and potential moisture damage, or unfiltered attic or crawlspace air can be drawn into the ducts and distributed throughout the home. Interior comfort delivery systems with the air handler and ducts located inside the conditioned environment of the home minimize the effects of duct leakage. Any conditioned air that does leak from the ducts leaks into the conditioned areas of the home. This saves money by ensuring conditioned air produced by the comfort equipment is not wasted in places like the attic or crawlspace.
