Signs You Have Damaged Air Ducts
It’s important to be aware of the signs that your air ducts may be damaged so you can address the issue promptly and prevent minor problems from getting worse.
Signs of damaged air ducts include:
- Increased energy bills: If you notice a sudden spike in energy costs with no corresponding change in HVAC use, it’s a sign that your air ducts are leaking air, making your systems work harder.
- Uneven heating or cooling: When some rooms are significantly warmer or cooler than others, it could mean the ducts are blocked or leaky, preventing proper airflow throughout the home.
- Poor indoor air quality: Excessive dust, allergens, and debris in your living spaces may suggest your ductwork is compromised, allowing contaminants to circulate throughout your home.
- Unusual noises: Rattling, whistling, or banging sounds coming from your ductwork can be a clear sign of loose, disconnected, or damaged ducts that need immediate attention.
Ductwork Sealing & Repair
When you have comfort issues in your home, the problem may not always be HVAC failure or malfunction. In some cases, the underlying issue may stem from your ductwork.
Common air duct damage that can impact your indoor comfort and energy efficiency include:
- Leaks and holes: Ducts can develop leaks and holes due to wear and tear, poor installation, or pest infestation.
- Blockages and debris buildup: Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate inside ducts, obstructing airflow and reducing HVAC efficiency.
- Poor insulation: Ducts that aren’t properly insulated can lose heat in the winter and gain heat in the summer.
- Disconnected or improperly installed ducts: Sections of ductwork that are improperly installed or connected can lead to air leaks and uneven airflow.
Whether you require ductwork sealing to address cracks and gaps or need a ductwork repair for dented or crushed air ducts, the team at Comfort First has the skills and tools to get the job done right.
