Duct Repair or Duct Replacement Can Improve Your Home's Airflow and Comfort

Your Air Ducts are one of the most important systems in your home, and if the ducts are poorly sealed or insulated they are likely contributing to higher energy bills.

Ducts that leak heated air into unheated spaces can add hundreds of dollars a year to your heating and cooling bills. Insulating ducts in unconditioned spaces is usually very cost-effective. If you are installing a new duct system, make sure it comes with insulation.

Sealing your ducts to prevent leaks is even more important if the ducts are located in an unconditioned area such as an attic or vented crawlspace. If the supply ducts are leaking, heated or cooled air can be forced out of unsealed joints and lost. In addition, unconditioned air can be drawn into return ducts through unsealed joints.

Although minor duct repairs are easy to make,Your Duct Guys professionals technician will seal and insulate ducts in unconditioned spaces to ensure the use of appropriate sealing materials.

Inefficient ductwork can prevent your HVAC system from providing the comfort you need. Schedule an evaluation to see if you need duct repair or a replacement of the system.

One of the most common repairs on ducts that we make is sealing them. Holes or gaps in the ducts allow heated or cooled air to escape. Leaks in the system slow airflow, reducing the ability of air to reach all areas of your home. When ducts leak, you may feel cool in a room close to the air conditioning unit, but a room on the other end of the house may not reach the desired temperature.

Another issue that we frequently see during repairs is under-insulated ducts. The ductwork must carry heated or cooled air. However, if the components don't have enough insulation, the warm or cold will pass through the ducts into the surrounding area. This phenomenon greatly reduces the comfort you feel from your HVAC system. If you suspect that your home has problems with its ducts, contact us at Your Duct Guy for duct repair and insulation.

In some situations, you may need to have portions of your ducts replaced. Duct replacement can boost the ability of the system to deliver air where needed.

By replacing old, worn, leaky ductwork that is beyond repair, you can lower your heating and cooling bills. New ducts have better insulation and no holes to slow the course of air to your home's living areas.

Signs that you may need duct replacement include the following:

Multiple spots of duct leaks
Inadequate heating or cooling from a well-maintained HVAC system
Poor airflow from vents
Noisy air ducts
Mold or odors coming from the vents
Ductwork over a decade old

If you have older ductwork, ducts that don't perform as well, or ducts that another company improperly installed, you may need replacements for the entire system.
