The efficiency of your home’s HVAC system hinges on the condition of its ductwork. Leaks, damage, and deterioration can make the system work harder and at lower efficiency. When this happens, you get inadequate temperature control, higher monthly bills, and a reduced life span of the system.
Research from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indicates that leaks, holes, and connected ductwork lines cause increased energy bills. If your HVAC system is running on compromised ductwork, heat or cool air will escape your home. The EPA estimates that leaky ductwork can increase your monthly bill by 30%.
Improperly sealed ductwork can also pollute the air your comfort system circulates, thus spreading mold, dust, dirt, and other harmful particles through the air. A ductwork inspection can alert you to the potential for further damage and help you decide how to proceed with repairs. With a single call to repair the ducts and their connections, you can reduce your monthly energy bills, improve indoor air quality, and uphold the life span of the HVAC system.
Some of the most common signs of deficient HVAC ductwork include:
Elevated energy consumption
Rattling heard at the vents
Whistling noises
Diminished airflow
Most central HVAC systems have life spans of 15 to 20 years. A good ductwork installation can last longer than the outdoor compressor unit. Our technicians can assess the condition of your ductwork each time they inspect your HVAC system. For most central systems, you want to have ductwork resealed every five or 10 years. Resealing prevents energy loss while promoting HVAC efficiency.
In some cases, we can replace a compressor and connect it to existing ductwork if the latter is in good shape. When this happens, you want to determine the aging of the ductwork, which you should replace after 20 to 25 years. The layout and connections must be fully compatible with the new compressor; otherwise, it strains the compressor’s capacity. To a great extent, the condition of the ductwork is as crucial as the condition of the electromechanical components of HVAC systems.
Ductwork repair can only go so far in some situations. Depending on the age of the HVAC system and the condition of the ductwork, you may need to replace one or more sections. Landen Heating and Cooling has ample experience with ductwork replacement in Wake Forest. If your system needs this service, our certified technicians will inform you.
