Air leaks are one of the most common drains on the functionality of an air conditioner or heating system. An enormous waste of energy occurs when cooled air escapes from supply ducts or when hot attic air leaks into return ducts. Recent studies indicate that 10% to 30% of the conditioned air in an average central air conditioning system escapes from the ducts. For an air conditioning unit or heating system to be efficient, ducts must be airtight.

Hiring a competent professional service technician to detect and correct duct leaks is a good investment, since leaky ducts may be difficult to find without experience and the proper test equipment. Additionally, ducts must be sealed with duct "mastic.” The old standby of duct tape is ineffective for sealing ducts.
