JETT SEAL INC

The work was finished as advertised in two days. SInce being done, the house does stay warmer while the heat runs less. On a side note the reduction in dust has been incredible. Normally we would have to dust every third day. It has been two weeks since the work was done and we have not had to dust yet. This has paid dividends with the air quality as well. Less sneezing and sniffling in the morning for everyone.

The overall experience went very well in the sense that the staff (2 + a supv) seemed very competent in the execution and explanation of every step of the process. The job took 2 full days (which was much more than I had anticipated), but I guess that is to be expected for the work beyond just sealing the ducts. The overall improvement for heating and cooling capacity for the duct sealing is 40% based upon the measured leakage reduction and the original register flow.This should help to extend the life of the heating/ac units as they now have to work less in order to maintain consistent temperatures -- time will tell. The staff was very nice to work with.

After the work was finished, they ran another test of the system, showing a 97% reduction in leakage - meaning that we are losing almost no air now. At the original test, we were losing 1856 cubic feet per minute, and after the work was done, the test showed we were losing only 50 cubic feet per minute. Doing everything was pricey - $4600, but we expect to see great improvement in the energy bills, so it should pay for itself eventually. Since we just purchased the house, we won't be able to calculate the savings, unfortunately. Joe was on time, they completed the work quickly and on schedule, and Joe was really nice and personable. We are happy with the work Jett Seal performed.
