Ductwork carries conditioned air to rooms throughout your home, and the air returns through the ducts to your cooling and heating equipment, where it's filtered and cooled again. Over time, ducts can develop leaks, either because of poor installation or other factors in your home. When your home has leaky ducts, your cooling and heating equipment has to work harder to provide sufficient conditioned air in your home. The good news, however, is that sealing your ductwork doesn't have to be difficult or costly.
In addition to lowering energy bills and improving comfort, sealing your ductwork will improve your indoor air quality. This is because when ducts run through unconditioned areas, dirty air can infiltrate holes and cracks in your ducts, then get circulated in your indoor air. Sealing ductwork also will ensure more even cooling and heating in the house, since all of the conditioned air will get delivered to its destination, rather than leaking in certain areas.
If you're experiencing any of these issues, contact a reputable contractor with expertise in sealing ductwork to perform a comprehensive evaluation of your ducts. A pro has the knowledge to locate and correct problems before they become big issues. A licensed specialist will locate the duct leaks, look for signs of problems, such as mold or moisture, repair any leaks, and if necessary, clean your ducts. Sealing your ductwork will save you money and provide a more comfortable and healthy home for your family.
