A system for providing more efficient insulation for heating and air conditioning ducts is disclosed. Specifically, a system comprising one or more layers of light-weight, rigid spacers made of non-conductive material attached over an air duct, is disclosed. The spacers contain air channels or air spacers, and can be pre-attached to the air duct prior to installation of the duct. The air duct/spacer combination is wrapped with reflective insulation material.

1. A system for improving the R value of reflective insulation material used to wrap heating and air conditioning ducts, comprising: an air duct;a first layer of spacers comprising; a single layer of a plurality of spacer strips comprised of light-weight, non heat-conductive, rigid material, wherein
1. A system for improving the R value of reflective insulation material used to wrap heating and air conditioning ducts, comprising: an air duct;a first layer of spacers comprising; a single layer of a plurality of spacer strips comprised of light-weight, non heat-conductive, rigid material, wherein each spacer strip contains air spaces, air pockets or channels, and wherein each of said spacer strips is configured to be adhesively attached longitudinally along a top a bottom a left or right side of said air duct, at least one spacer strip being positioned on each side of said air duct, such that the spacer strips are positioned on each of said sides and top and bottom of said air duct,an air space or gap located between each of said spacer strips on said top and said bottom of said air duct,whereby said R value of reflective insulation material when wrapped around said first layer of spacers is improved because of said air spaces within said spacer strips and said air spaces or gaps between each of said spacer strips on each of said sides, top and bottom of said air duct. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein said first layer of spacers is attached to the air duct prior to the installation of the air duct in a building. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein said spacer strips further comprise adhesive strips for attaching said spacer strips to the air duct. 4. A system for improving the R value of reflective insulation material used to wrap heating and air conditioning ducts, comprising: an air duct;a first layer of spacers comprising; a single layer of a plurality of spacer strips comprised of light-weight, non heat-conductive, rigid material, wherein each spacer strip contains air spaces, air pockets or channels, and wherein each of said spacer strips is configured to be adhesively attached longitudinally along a top, a bottom, a left or right side of said air duct, at least one spacer strip being positioned on each side of said air duct, such that the spacer strips are positioned on each of said sides and top and bottom of said air duct,an air space or gap located between each of said spacer strips on said top and said bottom of said air duct,a first layer of reflective insulation material wrapped around said first layer of spacers;a second layer of spacers comprising; a second layer of a plurality of spacer strips comprised of light-weight, non heat-conductive, rigid material, wherein each spacer strip of said second layer contains air spaces, air pockets or channels, and wherein each of said spacer strips of said second layer is configured to be adhesively attached longitudinally to said first layer of reflective insulation material wrapped said air duct along said top, said bottom, and said left or right sides of said air duct, at least one spacer strip being positioned on each side of said air duct, such that the spacer strips of said second layer are positioned on said first layer of reflective insulation material at each of said sides and top and bottom of said air duct,whereby said R value of a second layer of reflective insulation material when wrapped around said second layer of spacers is improved because of said air spaces within said spacer strips and said air spaces or gaps between each of said spacer strips on each of said sides, top and bottom of said air duct, of said first and second layers of said spacers. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein said first and second layers of spacers are adhesively attached prior to the installation of said air duct in a building. 6. The system of claim 4, wherein said spacer strips of said second layer of spacers further comprise adhesive strips for attaching said spacer strips of said second layer of spacers to the reflective insulation material wrapped around said first layer of spacers.
