How Can I Seal a Leaking Air Duct to Improve HVAC Efficiency?
You can seal minor duct leaks yourself by applying mastic sealant or UL 181 foil tape on visible joints, seams, and around vent boots. Do not use cloth “duct tape.” Clean surfaces first, press tape firmly, then brush on mastic where gaps remain. Re‑insulate any ducts after sealing. If airflow is still weak or rooms in Orlando or Winter Haven stay uneven, schedule a pro to inspect hidden leaks and confirm system operation.
