Furance duct review and repair
We just moved in to our place a few months ago, we noticed that our heat was minimal on our upper floors so we had DuPont come out to check that all the duct connection were Ok.
The person who came out was friendly but I was annoyed that he asked me to go and buy a tube of clear color high heat silicon because he only had red color silicon. At the end of the day I didn’t think that he did a whole lot for charging me for 1 hour work and there is only a marginal difference in the heat on our upper floor.

Hi Matthew,
A lot of people complain about poor airflow in the upper living spaces in their homes. Using silicone is the least expensive way but unfortunately we can only seal areas that are exposed. Without being able to see ductwork that is hidden behind walls it's impossible to locate air leaks in these spaces. We use silicone to seal any air leaks that are visible and accessible. The technician asked if you could buy the silicone to avoid paying travel and labour expenses out of courtesy. He was trying to save you any additional charges that you might have incurred. We can try to address your airflow issue in other ways and I encourage you to call the office and we can speak about different options available to you.
