Doodlebuggers Service Network Announces Use of New Technology: Sealing Air Ducts from the Inside

Pensacola, Florida based Doodlebuggers Service Network, has announced the use of new technology to seal air duct leaks from the inside, saving consumers an estimated 25 to 40 percent in utility bills.

The new technology allows Doodlebuggers Service Network technicians to quickly pinpoint and seal air duct leaks, providing customers inexpensive repair that means better air quality, increased room comfort, considerable energy savings, and longer HVAC system life, according to Tom LaMontagne.

Doodlebuggers Service Network, a certified contractor, is the first to stress the sealing technology locally. The new process works by isolating leaks in the air duct system and sealing them through the computer-controlled injection of safe aerosol particles.

The technology was developed at U.C. Berkeley in 1994 with funding by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Energy, and others. This new process was selected as Popular Mechanic's Invention of the Year in 1996 and was named to DOE's "Top 100 Inventions" of the last 23 years. "This is cutting-edge technology," says Thomas LaMontagne, President & Founder of Doodlebuggers Service Network, which has served the Northwest Florida and Alabama area for over 18 years. "This is a cost-effective way to address problems in the duct system that has been overlooked in the past, ensuring that system operation is highly efficient." Duct sealing from the inside also protects against harmful infiltration of unconditioned air from attic or crawl spaces, and carbon monoxide backdraft. The air purification is an added benefit for allergy sufferers. In addition, many utility companies are advising customers that have high bill complaints to have their duct systems checked.
