Start the New Year Off With Ductwork Repair for HVAC Systems

When most people consider their HVAC system, the thought of new units and periodic repairs is probably what comes to mind. Most people never give their ductwork a second thought. This is an oversight on most homeowners’ parts and is unfortunate since the ductwork is what does most of the work in an HVAC system. 

Ductwork needs the same amount of attention that is given to the rest of the HVAC system. A typical HVAC system is expected to last between 10 and 20 years. Coincidentally, ductwork is expected to last the same amount of time. The ductwork plays a pivotal role in keeping the home comfortable, safe, and cost-efficient. Here are a few signs that a home’s ductwork needs attention. 

Poor Airflow

For homeowners that notice that airflow is reduced coming out of their vents, they should investigate immediately. Some of the causes of reduced airflow could be:

  • Closed Vents: A simple solution to poor airflow is to check that vent registers are open and unobstructed throughout the home. 
  • Clogged Filters: Clogged filters can cause reduced airflow around the home. Replacing the filter can narrow down if this is the cause of reduced airflow. 
  • Obstructed Ducts: One of the more serious problems possible is having ducts blocked by debris and dust that air can no longer flow. Professional help will be needed to correct this situation. 
  • Separated Ductwork: The expansion and contraction of the heating and cooling cycle can cause ducts to pull apart from each other if they were poorly installed. Separated ductwork can have far-reaching consequences like high bills and foundation damage. 

Mold, Fungus, and Musty Odors

Since all of the air in the home is circulated through the ductwork multiple times per day, it is essential that ductwork stays clean and dry. When ductwork gets dirty from inefficient filters and a buildup of debris falling into vents, the environment is ripe for mold and fungus to grow.

Mold and fungus in ductwork can greatly affect the health of the occupants living in the home. To prevent this buildup from occurring:

  • Select good air filters
  • Replace filters as often as necessary
  • Have ducts professionally cleaned and inspected
  • Replace ductwork when necessary

Expansions and Renovations

When owning a home, it can be easy to get carried away with renovations or making additions to the house. Often, little consideration is given to how to heat and cool the new space. When new areas are added to a home, it is crucial to consider the added load to the HVAC system and the airflow disruptions that may be caused.

Installing new ductwork is a necessary part of every renovation and addition project, and professional installation should be accounted for in planning for the project. With professional duct installation, homeowners can be sure that their new space will be adequately heated and cooled and that the ductwork will last for as long as it should.
