Part 3️⃣ of this massive home airflow breakdown 🏠💨
High energy bills aren’t always because your AC unit is “bad.” In homes like this, major duct leakage can quietly waste hundreds of CFM into unconditioned spaces while pulling dirty, stale attic air back into the home.
That’s why you may notice:
⚠️ High energy bills
⚠️ Random stale or dusty odors
⚠️ Rooms that never feel quite right
⚠️ A system running longer than it should
In this home, we found leakage averaging around 500 CFM per system — that’s a massive amount of conditioned air being lost. And for every bit of air leaking out, outside air is being pulled back in somewhere else.
Building science matters. Proper testing matters. 🔍
If your home has unexplained odors, uneven temperatures, or high utility bills, it may be time to look deeper than just the AC unit itself.
