Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be compatible with today’s high-efficiency HVAC equipment. Ducts and their related components—seams, seals and joists—begin to fail around 15 years. They reach their maximum usability around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the change in temperatures. These shifts over the years can cause it to separate and lose air. Leaks can hike your utility bills and lead to poor indoor air quality. Compromised ducts can draw in and diffuse pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could house some of your ductwork. Water buildup can form during the summer, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are a few other signs that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is extremely dusty, or allergies are bad at home.
3.You can’t regulate the temperature in specific rooms.
4.You can see ducts that are crushed.
5.You smell a strong musty smell when your HVAC unit is heating or cooling.

Having D.A. Bennett Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning install new ductwork can make your home more comfortable—and healthier—through superior temperature regulation and air quality. Plus, it can increase your furnace’s and air conditioner’s efficiency.
Loose, Uninsulated Ducts Can Drive Up Energy Bills

An inefficient home can lose up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Fractures in your air ducts can worsen the issue, diminishing efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also pull in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that meant to be discharged outside. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces create small amounts of CO during typical use.

Trust the Experts at D.A. Bennett Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning when you need duct repair. We can seal air ducts and insulate them too. This can keep you more comfortable and possibly decrease your heating and cooling bills. A sealed and insulated duct system is also essential when you’re adding a new HVAC system.
