When was the last time you thought about the air you breathe inside your home? You might not realize it, but your HVAC system and ductwork play a significant role in maintaining air quality.
The 13-Step PureFlow Process is a revolutionary approach designed to improve airflow, improve energy efficiency, and create a cleaner, healthier home environment. Let’s break down each step and see how it transforms your indoor air quality.
1 – On-Site Analysis
Before making any changes, a certified Indoor Air Quality Specialist conducts a thorough inspection of your HVAC system, ductwork, and home layout to identify areas for improvement.
2 – Custom Design for Your Home
Based on precise heating and cooling calculations, a specialized PureFlow system is tailored to meet the specific needs of your home, ensuring maximum efficiency and comfort.
3 – Preparing Your Home
Protecting your home is a priority. Drop cloths are placed throughout, and existing ductwork is carefully sealed and bagged to prevent dust and debris from spreading.
4 – Secure Inner Barrier
The first step in sealing your ducts involves pulling the inner barrier over a metal connector and securing it with a high-tension draw band, creating a tight, reliable seal.
5 – Reinforced Joint Sealing
A fiber-reinforced sealant is applied to the joint, followed by a layer of mesh tape. Another coat of sealant is added over the tape to ensure durability and long-lasting protection against leaks.
6 – Formaldehyde-Free Insulation
To enhance insulation, a gold-certified, formaldehyde-free layer is added. This insulation is then wrapped with a reflective radiant and vapor barrier to prevent energy loss and maintain air purity.
7 – Metal Connection Sealing
Any remaining seams on the metal connections are sealed with fiber-reinforced sealant, eliminating any potential weak spots that could allow air leaks.
8 – Additional Insulation for Protection
Extra foil-backed insulation is installed over any exposed metal to prevent temperature fluctuations and humidity from affecting the air entering your home.
9 – Airflow Dampers for Balance
Adjustable airflow dampers are strategically placed within your duct system to ensure even air distribution, preventing hot and cold spots in different rooms.
10 & 11 – High-Pressure Sealing & New Registers
Every airflow supply connection is sealed with a high-pressure material, and new adjustable multi-directional air registers are installed for improved air circulation.
12 – Duct Air Balancing
A complete air balance is performed to confirm that each room receives consistent heating and cooling, ensuring optimal comfort throughout the house.
13 – Final Testing & Compliance
A third-party specialist conducts a duct pressure test to verify the system’s airtightness, ensuring compliance with energy efficiency standards and long-term savings.
