In the HVAC industry, full system closure is a major focus for technicians. This means ensuring the entire HVAC system is properly sealed with no air leaks. Failing to achieve full system closure can allow contaminants such as moisture, dust, dirt, bacteria, and insects to enter the system, negatively impacting indoor air quality. Air leaks can also reduce system efficiency, shorten equipment lifespan, and lead to premature system failure. Additional consequences may include failed inspections, higher energy costs and utility bills, costly callbacks for repairs, damage to a contractor’s reputation, loss of business, and even reduced eligibility for tax incentives.

Watch this video to learn more about how important it is to use the right tool for the job when achieving full system closure.
