Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in North America

Old, Leaky Ducts in North America Could Cost You

Ductwork is an essential extension of your North America home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working well, it delivers ample comfort throughout your house.

A normal home loses 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of poorly connected ducts and cracks in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your unit work harder and lead to higher home energy costs.

There are several indications that your home has poorly perfoming ducts:

Energy bills are getting higher.

Rooms feel stuffy.

Ductwork runs through an uninsulated space, like an attic, crawl space or garage.

Your HVAC system is extremely noisy.

Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be sufficient for modern high-efficiency HVAC equipment. Ducts and their related components—seams, seals and joists—begin to deteriorate around 15 years. They reach their maximum usefulness around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the change in temperatures. These changes over the years can cause it to break apart and lose air. Leaks can hike your utility costs and contribute to poor indoor air quality. Separated ducts can pull in and diffuse pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could contain some of your ductwork. Condensation can occur during the summer, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are a few other clues that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is extremely dusty, or allergies are more severe at home.
3.You can’t manage the temperature in specific areas.
4.You can see ducts that are crushed.
5.You smell a strong musty scent when your HVAC system is on.

Having Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning add new ductwork can make your home cozier—and healthier—through improved temperature management and air quality. Plus, it can boost your furnace’s and air conditioner’s efficiency.
Loose, Uninsulated Ducts Can Drive Up Energy Bills

An inefficient home can waste up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Holes in your air ducts can worsen the issue, reducing efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also bring in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that should be discharged outdoors. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces make harmless amounts of CO during normal operation.

Turn to the Experts at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning when you need duct repair. We can seal air ducts and insulate them too. This can keep you more comfortable and possibly lower your energy costs. A sealed and insulated duct system is also critical when you’re adding a new HVAC system.
