Have you ever looked at that heavy roll of silver tape and thought, “I wonder if this stuff actually lives up to its name?” From wrapping cords to wart removal, duct tape can be used for so many things. Ironically, one of the things you can’t use duct tape for is sealing or fixing air ducts.
We receive many questions about duct tape and its potential uses in HVAC. But just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
Duct tape can withstand many things. It’s no secret that duct tape can bring together even the toughest of surfaces. The one thing it can’t withstand though is heat and extreme temperature changes. This is one of the many reasons why duct tape should never be used on ducts.
Long periods of heat cycling can cause the adhesive in duct tape to break down over time. This leads to the duct tape falling off or getting into the ductwork itself. Also, condensation from so many temperature changes can make duct tape weaken and fall right off.
Leaky ductwork can make your energy bills go up. When treated air is lost through cracks and holes in a home’s ductwork, it forces the HVAC system to work twice as hard to produce the same amount of air.
If you “fix” your ducts with duct tape, there may be a drop in your energy bills; but this drop is temporary. When the duct tape falls off or wears down, your bill will go up again. The best way to avoid this headache is to use a material that actually works with ducts or call an HVAC professional.
Don’t be discouraged! There are types of tape you can use to patch tiny holes and cracks in your ductwork. Some of the best options are:
