Before & After

McLean VA Encapsulating HVAC Ducts with Spray Foam

Conditioned air (Heated or Cooled) passing through HVAC ducts can be impacted by the temperature in the area the HVAC ducts are located.  Imagine 60 degree air passing through an HVAC duct.  If that duct goes through an attic in the summer the temperatures in the attic can reach as high as 120 degrees.  Cold air + hot metal HVAC duct = condensation.  It also means that cold air gets heated by the time it passes all the way through, making your home less comfortable than intended and causing your HVAC system to work harder.  The same is true in reverse during the colder months.  Spray Foam can be used to encapsulate HVAC ducts, keeping the conditioned air inside the way it was meant to be.
