The air ducts in your HVAC system act like the veins and arteries of your heating and cooling system. When they are functioning properly, they distribute conditioned air evenly throughout your home. However, over time, air ducts can develop problems that impact your HVAC system’s overall performance.
If you’re wondering whether you need duct repair, here are the top warning signs to look out for.
As HVAC professionals, we often encounter homes suffering from inefficient heating, cooling, and excessive energy bills. A common culprit? Broken air ducts. Your home’s ductwork is crucial for distributing conditioned air throughout your space. However, when there are gaps or holes in the ducts, it compromises the system’s efficiency, directly affecting your comfort and budget. Broken ducts require professional air duct repair in St. Augustine.
Many American households assume that the ductwork in their house is orderly and there are no issues with them. Unfortunately, according to the US Department of Energy, most duct systems have significant or minor leaks and defects, resulting in a 30% heating and cooling loss in the average home.
Let’s look into why ducts get problems and what you can do about it.
Ductwork is one of those things that not many homeowners pay too much attention to. We can’t say we blame you—it’s out of sight and out of mind, right? That is, unless something goes drastically wrong with them.
“What could go drastically wrong?” you ask.
Your ductwork can suffer from pinhole leaks due to extreme heat in the attic where they’re installed, poor installation to begin with, or even from rodents and other pests. You could also have loose joints in your air ducts or even a buildup of dust, dirt, and other contaminants that could harm not only your indoor air quality but also the efficiency and efficacy of your HVAC system.
But of course, you probably don’t want to wait until there is a problem with your air ducts to manage that problem, right? Fortunately, most problems can be prevented with professional duct testing.
Homeowners often don’t realize how much their ductwork plays a role in not only their comfort but also the cleanliness of their indoor air. So when that ductwork is dirty or damaged, it can impact your home in significant ways. Damaged ductwork allows air leaks into unoccupied spaces like your attic or crawlspace. Dirty ducts invite common allergens as well as mold spores and bacteria into your indoor air.
