Why insulate your ducts with HVAC bubble insulation?

Insulating your HVAC ductwork with radiant barrier can improve energy efficiency, enhance comfort, reduce noise levels, improve air quality, and extend the lifespan of your HVAC system. By reducing heat loss or gain through your ductwork, radiant barrier insulation can help maintain a consistent temperature throughout your home, while also preventing mold growth and reducing energy bills.

Excellent for heating and cooling!

This completely exceeded our expectations. We have a new house with a partial crawl space and a half basement built during COVID. This product was only used on ductwork below the joists in the crawl, everything between the joists was insulated with Rockwool.

The very worst duct in our home was in the second floor loft. In summer it would be 8 degrees warmer than the best ducts and in winter it would be 6 degrees colder despite the fact that it only had 16 feet of uninsulated run from the main supply trunk.

After double checking all of the ductwork the installer had missed sealing the corners of the metal ducts. Doing that brought the temperature difference down to 4 degrees in the summer. After using the foil insulation this duct became the coldest in the entire house during the summer and the warmest now that we are using the heat. It's taking me a while to complete this as I want everything just perfect. I'm redoubling my efforts to get this finished before winter as it's made the house way more comfortable already.

It does reduce the noise noticably as well. Before using it we could hear the HVAC over the TV whenever it would kick on. Now we have to mute the TV to see it it is running. Oddly it also reduced other noises in the house like the dryer and refrigerator. The main HVAC supply and return trunk lines run underneath those so I suspect the noise was echoing through the ductwork.

I looked all over before settling on this product and it has made a huge difference in the comfort level of the house.
