Attic Duct Work

Attic duct work has specifications that include proper sealing and insulating the metal ducting. The attached photo shows how a homeowner tried to add extra duct work using electrical tape. The result is a poor job of insulation and lost energy efficiency. Also, the metal ducting will probably sweat during the summer months which could stain the ceiling below this area.
