  • 2. 

    How do you know that your home has poorly performing ducts?

    • You have high summer and winter utility bills.

    • You have rooms that are difficult to heat and cool.

    • You have stuffy rooms that never seem to feel comfortable.

    • Your ducts are located in an attic, crawlspace or the garage and you find tangled or kinked flexible ducts in your system.

    • All the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All the above.
    Explanation
    All of the above options indicate signs of poorly performing ducts in a home. High utility bills in both summer and winter suggest that the HVAC system is not efficiently distributing air throughout the house. Rooms that are difficult to heat and cool indicate uneven airflow, which can be caused by ducts that are not properly sealed or insulated. Stuffy rooms that never feel comfortable also suggest poor airflow. Finally, finding tangled or kinked flexible ducts in the attic, crawlspace, or garage indicates a potential issue with the duct system. Therefore, all of these factors can indicate poorly performing ducts in a home.

    Radiant Barriers and Duct Sealing help ...

    • Reduce summer heat gain.

    • Increase winter heat loss.

    • Increase summer heat gain.

    • Reduce winter heat loss.

    • Reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss.

    Correct Answer
    A. Reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss.
    Explanation
    Radiant barriers and duct sealing are effective methods to reduce both summer heat gain and winter heat loss. Radiant barriers are installed in attics to reflect radiant heat from the sun, preventing it from entering the living space and reducing summer heat gain. Duct sealing ensures that there are no leaks or gaps in the ductwork, preventing conditioned air from escaping and reducing both summer heat gain and winter heat loss. Therefore, the correct answer is to reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss.

    Radiant Barriers and Duct Sealing helps to lower HVAC induced costs by...

    • 11%

    • 10%

    • 22%

    • 25%

    • 16%

    Correct Answer
    A. 25%
    Explanation
    Radiant barriers and duct sealing help to lower HVAC induced costs by 25%. This means that implementing these measures can reduce the amount of money spent on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems by a significant percentage. Radiant barriers are reflective materials that prevent heat transfer, while duct sealing ensures that air does not leak out of the ducts, resulting in more efficient cooling or heating. By reducing energy loss and improving system efficiency, these measures can lead to substantial cost savings in HVAC operations.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Radiant Barriers reflect what percentage of radiant heat transferance to your attic?

    • 65%

    • 52%

    • 97%

    • 43%

    • 28%

    Correct Answer
    A. 97%
    Explanation
    Radiant barriers are materials that are installed in attics to reduce the transfer of radiant heat. They work by reflecting the heat back towards its source. The given correct answer, 97%, suggests that radiant barriers are able to reflect 97% of the radiant heat transferance to the attic. This means that only 3% of the heat is able to pass through the barrier, resulting in a significant reduction in heat transfer and potentially lowering energy costs for cooling the home.
