The average American home suffers a loss of between 20 and 30 percent of its heating and cooling capacity due to leaks in the ductwork. Unfortunately, it is not easy to look and visually assess the ductwork for leaks because it sits in the ceiling, under the floors, and behind the walls of the building. However, these warning signs may indicate that there is a problem:
A supply vent that only has a minimal amount of airflow or none at all.
A significant amount of moisture is present in the home's air.
Temperatures that are not maintained properly by the home's heating and cooling system.
Some areas need heat or cooling, even with the heater or air conditioner.
An excessive amount of dust throughout the house
A rise in the cost of utilities.
If you observe these symptoms, you should contact the company that handles your heating and cooling systems to schedule an appointment for duct sealing and repair service. Always Ready HVAC technicians can determine whether or not these hidden HVAC system components have leaks or other types of damage. In addition, because of their training, Always Ready HVAC technicians can make non-intrusive and affordable repairs and determine whether or not a new duct system needs installation.
Professionals in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) manage the design and installation of new distribution systems that improve the efficiency of heating and air conditioning units when the duct systems in a home need replacement.
