Prima Vista Duct Leak Repair — Measured Before and After
Duct leakage in Prima Vista homes can waste 20-30% of your cooling before it reaches a register. We run a CFM25 pressure test before we touch anything, seal the leaks with mastic or Aeroseal where appropriate, then retest and show you the numbers.
What makes Prima Vista different for HVAC
Prima Vista sits in traditional subdivision with a mix of housing eras. It's within a few miles of the coast — not heavy salt exposure, but not inland either, with no HOA, so exterior unit placement and screening are up to you. Locals know the area by landmarks like Prima Vista Blvd & US 1, Prima Vista Animal Hospital, Prima Vista Crossing.
original flex ductwork from the 1970s is still in many homes here — leaks add up.
- Salt exposure in Prima Vista is moderate — enough that we factor it into expected condenser life and coil coating recommendations.
- Homes in Prima Vista were built before modern duct standards. Original flex duct losses of 20-30% are common — sealing often pays back faster than a new unit.
- Flex duct is still common in Prima Vista. Easy to crush, easy to leak at the joints. We check every run before we quote sealing or cleaning.
- A recurring pattern we see in Prima Vista: condenser coil corrosion from salt air.

Common questions from Prima Vista homeowners
How much duct leakage is normal in Prima Vista?
Energy Star target is under 4 CFM25 per 100 sq ft. Most pre-2005 homes test at 3-5x that. Post-seal we're usually back to target.
Aeroseal or mastic?
Depends on access. Exposed attic runs: mastic. Inaccessible chases or wall cavities: Aeroseal. Often both on the same job.
Will I actually see a utility bill difference?
If your test shows 20%+ leakage, yes — typically 8-15% summer savings. If leakage is low already, the ROI isn't there and we'll say so.
