If your HVAC ducts have leakage percent of just 20%, the efficiency of the cooling system can drop as much as 50%. The increase in energy costs as a result of leaky ducts are significant. Duct leakage also lowers heating and cooling capacity thereby reducing equipment life.
Another HUGE Benefit provided by Utah Infrared Home Inspections is that thermal imaging allows us to see duct leaks that would otherwise go un-detected.
Did you know the average Utah home wastes 30% of the HVAC system's energy consumption due to leaky ducts. The cost of an infrared inspection can be recovered within the first year from uncovering just this one type of defect alone.
HVAC systems account for upwards of 40 percent of a building’s annual energy usage.
Air leaking into or out of the HVAC system can dramatically affect humidity, condensation potential, indoor air quality, energy consumption, and occupant comfort.
All Utah Infrared Home Inspections include advanced Thermal Imaging Technology as an added benefit without the added costs.
