Duct Sealing Eliminates Uneven Temperatures, Making Home Office Comfortable Year-Round

Contractor's Solution has Immediate Impact on Home Humidity Issues, Energy Savings

During a summer notable for stay-at-home orders and working from home, comfort has become even more critical to homeowners like Bill D. His 7,850 sq ft. ranch home in Bellbrook, Ohio was uncomfortable with humidity and uneven temperatures.

In fact, just to use his home office, Bill had to adapt. The blinds for each of the room’s floor-to-ceiling windows had to be closed while a fan ran constantly to make it comfortable. After reaching out to William’s Comfort Air (WCA) to solve the problem, a few issues with the home’s HVAC system were identified.

One of the home’s dual AC units was leaking refrigerant and the home’s leaky ductwork was undersized. As a result, his HVAC was working harder than normal, trying to eliminate the uneven, uncomfortable temperatures throughout the home and increasing his utility bills.

The WCA team replaced the HVAC unit and installed properly sized ductwork before sealing them using Aeroseal duct sealing technology.
