The importance of sealing your air ducts or duct work in New York is to keep your space warm during the cold winter months or keep the cold in during the summer, while promoting energy efficiency year-round saving you money. Improperly sealed ducting wastes the conditioned air it creates, which causes health risks from bad air quality, higher utility bills, and dissatisfaction in comfort for tenant, customer, employees, or family.
