Gold Package
Gold Package
The Gold Package includes all of the duct system enhancements from the Bronze Package and the Insulated Duct ArmorTM from the Silver Package applied to all ducts, supply and return. With this starting point we then apply Insulated Attic ArmorTM to air seal and isolate the attic from the interior of the home. After that, we blanket your desired level of blown-in insulation throughout your attic over conditioned space. The Gold Package provides our highest level of comfort, savings and air quality.
Problems & Causes
- Excessive attic/livable space air leakage causing excessive heat gain/loss that exceeds the HVAC system’s ability to offset it.
- Insufficient ceiling and/or knee wall attic insulation, causing excessive attic heat gain/loss that exceeds the HVAC system’s ability to offset it.
- Insufficient ceiling and/or knee wall attic insulation, causing excessive attic heat gain/loss to different rooms.
- Excessive attic/livable space air leakage causing excessive heat gain/ and high utility bills.
- Insufficient ceiling and/or knee wall attic insulation causing excessive attic heat gain/loss and high utility bills.
- Excessive attic/livable space air leakage causing excessive attic heat gain/loss and long run times, requiring the HVAC equipment to work harder, generate excess heat and fail prematurely.
- Insufficient ceiling and/or knee wall attic insulation causing excessive attic heat gain/loss and long run times, requiring the HVAC equipment to work harder, generate excess heat and fail prematurely.

Before vs. After Gold Package:
Once this process is complete, your attic will look like the image below.
Before vs. After Gold Package Attic View:
Air Temperature
- Most duct systems are exposed directly to the extreme heat of the attic, especially during summer.
- Up to 3X more heat enters your home through the duct system than through the entire ceiling.
- Supply ducts carry cold air (nearly 100°F cooler than attic air) but are protected by only about 1 inch of insulation.
- Even newly built homes often have this same flawed design.
These thermal images clearly show how intense attic heat overwhelms unprotected ductwork:
Before vs. After Gold Package Cross Section:
Benefits:
- Enhanced comfort because of expanded equipment cooling capacity delivered to the home, helping the system keep up during summer peak temperatures.
- Enhanced comfort from more consistent room-level air temperatures delivered by the duct system.
- Lower costs from reduced energy consumption driven by lowered duct heat gain/loss.
- Lower costs from reduced equipment wear and tear and lengthened life span from shorter equipment run times.
- Improved health from enhanced indoor air quality from duct system sealed to prevent air leaks.
- Improved home satisfaction from reduced system noise, driven by more sound absorbing insulation surrounding the ducts.

Equipment Life Extension Add-Ons
To ensure air flows effectively through your existing equipment, we may also recommend cleaning your evaporator coil and the blower wheel (if your system needs it), which often look something like this:

By improving airflow, your equipment’s capacity and efficiency improves as well as extending its life since the blower motor does not have to work as hard.

Air Quality Add-Ons
If your system needs it, we recommend a duct cleaning to ensure maximum system efficiency. We will clean your ducts to remove years of accumulated dust and allergens as illustrated here:
