What Is HVAC Duct Repair?
Ductwork is responsible for moving air around your home. It delivers warm or cool air to rooms via vents and returns air to the system for recirculation. Air ducts are a vital component of your HVAC system. An HVAC is only helpful when it has working ductwork. So, what is HVAC duct repair, and how do you know if your home needs it?
Signs Your Ductwork Needs Repair
- If your ductwork is older than ten years, it’s a good idea to have us inspect it for damage or wear and tear.
- Spots in your home that are much cooler or warmer could indicate a duct problem.
- Hearing unusual or louder noises than usual can be a sign of leaky or torn ducts.
- Decreased indoor air quality can mean dirty or worn-out ducts from routine use. You may notice increased allergy or asthma symptoms or dust collecting on your vents.
Common HVAC Duct Repairs
Every repair situation is unique, but we encounter some scenarios regularly. These are the most common problems we see and how we address them:
- The ductwork in attics or crawl spaces is sometimes in the floor. Ductwork in this position is more susceptible to rodent and water damage. We will remove the ductwork from the floor to protect it from preventable breakage.
- Ducts with improper insulation will reduce your home’s energy efficiency and increase your energy costs. Insulation can loosen or fall off over time. We will assess the situation and install or replace insulation.
- If you have uninvited guests in your home, they may sneak in through damaged or loosely sealed ducts. Replacing damaged ducts and adequately sealing them will help keep pests out of your home.
- Ductwork can be improperly installed or incompatible with your home, especially if you renovate without updating it. Our team can repair and replace portions of ductwork to create a custom solution for your home.
Is DIY Duct Repair a Good Idea?
Most homeowners make basic repairs around their homes, but some things should be in the hands of a professional. This fact is especially true for system repairs in less accessible areas, like the walls or ceiling. There are a few other reasons why you should call us instead of attempting DIY duct repair:
- We offer a guarantee for our service.
- We have the knowledge and necessary tools, so you’ll save time and money.
- Our experienced technicians have training to stay safe on the job.
- We can spot minor problems before they become more significant.
