Duct Replacement & Repair
A part of Air Duct Repair is making sure your air ducts are sealed. This is a key step in eliminating energy waste and improving your home’s efficiency.
Your ductwork system is how your home moves hot and cold air throughout the house. Supply ducts bring the conditioned (heated or cooled) air to rooms, while return ducts bring air back to the furnace or air conditioner.
Unfortunately, many homeowners have leaky, inefficient ducts, which force your HVAC system to work longer and harder to get your home to the right temperature. Not only does this waste money and energy, it will make your home uncomfortable and could possibly lead to unnecessary repair bills.
Duct Replacement & Repair
Homeowners who have uncomfortable homes typically complain of the same issues — rooms that take too long to heat or cool, rooms that stay at different temperatures from the rest of the home, and homes that are too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. In many cases, these issues can be attributed to one of these ductwork problems:
- Duct leakage: Duct leakage causes conditioned air to escape before it reaches certain rooms, meaning your heating or cooling system will need to run longer and harder to get rooms to the desired temperature.
- Under-insulated ducts: Missing or inadequate ductwork insulation or older ductwork works against the HVAC system during heating and cooling seasons, forcing the HVAC system to heat or cool the ductwork before proper temperature air can reach a room. HVAC costs escalate, and some rooms stay too hot or too cold even when the HVAC system is operating. Older ductwork may have a loss of 30% cooling efficiency so for every $3 spent on AC cooling $1 goes to cooling your attic.
- Unbalanced airflow: Unbalanced air flow due to register location causes some rooms to get too much heat or cooling, while other parts of the house get too little.
