December in Wilmington brings chilly mornings and cold nights. One often overlooked factor affecting home comfort and heating efficiency is your attic and ductwork. Leaks, poor insulation, or unsealed ducts can make your HVAC work harder, increase energy bills, and create cold spots throughout your home.
Proper winterization helps your system run efficiently and keeps your home cozy all month long.
Tips to Winterize Your Attic and Ductwork
- Inspect and Improve Attic Insulation – Add or replace insulation to prevent heat loss and reduce system strain.
- Seal Duct Leaks – Leaky ducts can waste heated air and lower overall comfort.
- Check for Gaps Around Vents – Ensure supply and return vents are properly sealed to avoid drafts.
- Clear Attic Debris – Ensure airflow around HVAC components in the attic is unobstructed.
- Schedule Professional Maintenance – Technicians can inspect ductwork and attic conditions to optimize heating performance.
