What is the difference between supply side leakage, and return side leakage?
As explained in the previous faq, an HVAC system has a center. The center would be where the air is handled, and changed from a negative air flow (suction) to a positive airflow (blowing). When there is a leak on the supply side of a duct system, the air you are paying to be conditioned is leaking to spaces you don’t occupy- like the attic. Should the leak be on the return side of the HVAC system, air from the unconditioned space where the return ducts are located, is being vacuumed in and mixing with the air you are breathing. This scenario puts your health at risk and costs you money!
