- The ducted heating return is one of the most important parts of the home to have air tight. We have extreme pressures in this part of your home, so the larger the gaps, the larger the hit on your energy efficiency and indoor air quality. A little bit of extra care is required to make this part of the home air tight. You will be amazed with the difference of your heating or even cooling system when this area of your home is made air tight.

I have this issue... Been on the list of things to do for a while but this has been my motivation.
Thank you
This is wonderful to hear! Thank you for your feedback. When we see returns like this, and we see it often, we get a little emotional and sad about it, especially considering the potential health impacts it represents.
Completely agree, John. I see this problem all the time when I do home assessments. Also worth emphasising that it's a draught problem even when the ducted system is turned off.
We tried to dwell on how disgusting it is to get air from outside via the cavities of a home, instead of draughts. 🤓
Very good youtube channel. Thank you!
ohh wow, your channel is so helpful!
An energy efficient home or business is more comfortable and saves money in the long run.
Solar energy on your roof combined with battery storage can make people more independent from the grid and natural gas supplies. Add solar and supplemental electric heating or a heat pump for home or business heating..
All big box stores and manufacturing sites can support solar energy on their roofs or parking lots.
Added insulation, triple glaze windows, energy efficient doors, energy efficient heating and cooling systems, energy efficient appliances, LED lighting, smart thermostats, solar panels combined with battery storage and a electric vehicle charger in the garage or car park. People are too focused on the short term costs and miss out on long term savings and comfort. Blower door testing and air sealing are under appreciated tools.Even if you have money to burn you should not waste it. Climate Change will impact everyone. Leave a better future for your children and grandchildren. Join in and speak up for the future of the planet.
Are you kidding me? There’s such ignorance and/or negligence?
What tape would you recommend to use to cover up/put around the gap on the hose that goes into the wall from the oven?
Only needing a temporary solution for now so thought a tape of some sort would be ok. Thanks!!:)
And it needs to be temporary?

Once you put this tape on something, it won’t be coming off. Make sure it’s concealed.
