Ductless Range Hood – Duct Sealing.
Seal the duct connection with tape to reduce air leakage. In places where there is no air conditioning or heating, like the attic and basement, wrap the ducts in insulation. If your ducts are in the attic, you also be covered with a special insulation. This material, usually made of fiberglass or cellulose, is placed under pressure in the hollow wall with a blowtorch.
Ductless – Ventilation ducts.
Ventilation ducts commonly have holes that cause loss of air into the attic and cause an increase in your electric bill and unnecessary drafts. Seal the holes with putty and spray small holes, up to three inches in diameter, with spray foam. Seal air leaks greater than three inches with a piece of foam and spray it up more spray foam.
