DIY duct sealing gone wrong
Our Heating plus A/C tech taught us many heating service activities my nice friend and I could do ourselves.
This has always saved us cash my nice friend and I spend on house services with the local heating dealer.
So, in my search for more budget-friendly solutions, I came across a guide on how to service the air duct troubles independently. It listed what I needed to do to see if any complications could be fixed through duct sealing. I did the inspection, thinking how much of a self-qualified Heating plus A/C serviceman I was, when I found the cracks that would need to be sealed. My first mistake was thinking I could seal them with duct tape. I didn’t even go to the local heating industry expert for advice on what to use, plus I followed random online advice. It was one thing checking the function of a digital control unit plus another to know I was a heating unit expert. The sealing didn’t work. The heating technology expert came around to service the boiler plus heat pump, plus I mentioned what I had done. I was super proud of myself! She offered to do a text to check if what I did was effective. It failed the test, I missed some spots, plus the tape wasn’t holding on as firmly as I thought. I had to spend my money more for the heating service because the worker had to remove the tape I had put over the ducts plus try to fix it as it should have been done without causing further detriment. That marked the end of my trying to do any repairs for myself, no matter how financially enticing they sounded. I am lucky I didn’t know of handling the entire heating technology repairs for myself because the detriment would have been extensive plus pricey.
