You May Need to Repair or Replace Your Air Ducts If You Experience These Issues

If you’re experiencing issues with your heating and cooling system, you may not immediately think to check your air ducts. Because there are so many components to your HVAC system, finding the source of problems can be difficult, but don’t rule out your air ducts just yet. Old, damaged, and dirty ductwork can take a toll on your home comfort and your wallet. Don’t let these issues continue! If you’ve ruled out issues with and are still experiencing the following problems, it may be time to repair or replace your air ducts.

Strange Odors and Dust Buildup

If you’ve been experiencing musty odors lingering through your home or unusual dust buildup lately, your air ducts could be the culprit. If there is a leak in your duct work, dirt and debris can build up and enter your HVAC system. This causes your ducts and your home to fill with dust and other airborne contaminants. Overtime, the dust will build up in the ducts and leave your home smelling musty. You’ll be constantly cleaning to no avail if you don’t have your HVAC ductwork inspected by a professional. 

Poor Air Flow replace your air ducts

If you’re experiencing poor air flow in your home, you might be looking to repair or replace your ducts soon. Poor air flow leads to uneven heating and cooling in your home which means less comfort for you. It can also drive up the cost of your energy bills by making your system work harder to evenly distribute conditioned air throughout your home. This poor air flow could be due to a leak in your ductwork that developed over time, or from improperly installed ductwork. Either way, it needs to be repaired.

Higher Energy Bills 

When your air ducts are in need of cleaning, repair, or replacement, you’re sure to experience higher than normal energy bills. It’s possible you haven’t noticed the unusual dust buildup or the uneven cooling throughout your home, but once your energy bills rise, you’re more likely to notice something is wrong. Don’t spend more money to be less comfortable. Repair or replace  your air ducts to keep your home energy-efficient.
