Common questions from St. Lucie West homeowners
How much duct leakage is normal in St. Lucie West?
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.
