Air ducts connect your HVAC system to every room in your home. When a professional service technician installs them, they transport warm or cool air efficiently throughout the system. However, as air ducts suffer normal wear and tear, they can become clogged with pollutants and leak conditioned air. To ensure your ducts aren’t responsible for deteriorating your indoor air quality or wasting energy dollars, it’s important to repair and replace them immediately when you suspect they aren’t in excellent condition.
HOW CAN I TELL IF MY DUCTS NEED TO BE REPLACED?
- Your HVAC System Isn’t Operating Efficiently – Although there are many factors that impact how efficiently your HVAC system operates, the condition of your air ducts is one of the most important. If your HVAC system has started using more energy than usual to warm or cool your home, which would lead to higher utility bills, your air ducts might need replacing.
- Leaks in Your Ductwork – If you’ve noticed inefficient airflow in your home and higher-than-usual utility bills, your air ducts might have a leak. This isn’t just bad for your pockets but it is also bad for the health of those living in your Wellington home. When your ducts have leaks, it doesn’t just make your HVAC system work harder by losing air, it also invites airborne contaminants into your ductwork. If your home’s ductwork has leaks, the best plan of action is to replace your air ducts to lower your utility bills and improve your indoor air quality.
- Your Ductwork is Old – Another way to determine whether your air ducts need replacing is to simply verify their age. In most cases, air ducts can last for up to 15 years after installation before they need replacing. If your ductwork is about a decade old, now’s the time to start saving for and planning a replacement with an HVAC contractor.
