MB Roofing Inc.- Kansas City roofing company, MB Roofing Inc., clears the confusion about the importance of ducts and the role these play in any roofing project. "Despite having the right insulation system and roof covering supplies, a homeowner may still lose about 20% of heating or cooling expenses due to inappropriately installed duct systems." says a supervisor.
Of Leakages and Divots
According to an interview "Wrong assembly and sub-par materials are just some of things that cause majority of homeowners to lose money." The company says "it's about choosing the right contractor. Some Kansas City roofing companies try to smooth talk people into buying expensive products they don't really need."
Findings
As shown in a research undertaken by Energy Star on roofing ducts, a pioneer organization in Energy Efficiency, around $600 is spent by an average US homeowner every single year on heating and cooling.
The company was firm with their answer when asked why this happens, "By keeping the ducts leak-free, homeowners may considerably lower their air conditioning expenditures by approximately thirty percent. Your duct system would've pretty much taken care of the primary costs in a couple of years."
Humidity
MB Roofing Inc. was also quick to answer rumors about air leaks and cracks in the duct system causing indoor humidity. "Humidity is absolutely bad news for your house." says a senior roofer. It not only makes a home less than enjoyable and stuffy, humidity is also responsible for the deterioration of wood present in roofs, partitions, and pretty much anything composed of porous materials" He adds.
MB Roofing maintains that good
Kansas City roofing contractors should be aware of the connection between your roof structure and the house's air distribution system. As such, the duct system, as well as the roof system must not conflict with each others' functions.
Implications
Due to the huge amount of misinformation in homeowners and roofing circles, the company warns homeowners that ducts should be as far away from attics since the temperatures can be extreme in these locations. "Then again, for those who have no other location for the ductwork, be sure that your Kansas City roofing contractors do a good job in insulating your roof and your attic."
The IECC
With growing consciousness for energy efficiency and home construction, homeowners can make sure that that their ducts are adequately insulated by following IECC (International Energy Conservation Code) recommendation. "Your roofer must be able to come up with referrals using the design of your house, your roofing, along with the components used in making them. You wouldn't want to have someone blind guessing your roof specs," the company warns.
In the end, although
Kansas City roofing contractors do not ever tackle problems with air cooling and duct work, it's good to work with one that possesses a working perception of how a roof has an effect on the air distribution system of your residence. A suitable duct system is more effective at maintaining a constant ambient temperature indoors.
