As cool as it would be, humanity has yet to figure out the whole teleportation thing, meaning if you want to get somewhere, you have to travel there. The same goes for the air produced by central AC and heating systems.
It doesn’t appear at the snap of your fingers, ready to cool your home — it has to first work its way through your ductwork. If your air ducts are dirty or damaged, however, this spells trouble for your airflow. At House Pro Air Conditioning, we can help you tackle these issues with ease.
If your home uses a central heating or cooling system to control the temperature, this means that you have ductwork. Air ducts are hidden behind walls and ceilings, and they serve as the pathway that air from your systems will travel through.
Eventually, this air will come out through your vents and spread throughout the rooms in your home, providing the comfort you were looking for. However, if your ductwork is in less-than-stellar condition, there will be negative impacts, such as the following:
Over time, ductwork can develop rips and tears, giving air from your HVAC unit the perfect escape. As air slips away, your home and wallet will start to suffer. Luckily, our team at House Pro can help you solve the problem!
With our repair services, we can identify the location and extent of the problem. From there, we can seal off any openings and adjust connections. When you schedule duct renovations with our team, you can trust that your home is in good hands!
Just like it’s important to not eat or drink anything hazardous, it’s important not to breathe in harmful materials either. However, there’s a lot that can cause your indoor air quality to decline — including dirty ducts.
From excessive dust buildup to mold growth and more, there’s a variety of contaminants that can spread through ductwork. Harmful particles can easily be swept up by the air passing through your ducts and carried into your home before arriving in your lungs.
The general recommendation is to clean your ducts approximately every 3 to 5 years. However, you need duct services sooner than that. Give our team a call if you suspect an issue.
The expected lifespan for ductwork ranges between 10 and 25 years. However, age isn’t the only factor that determines when a replacement is needed. If damage is severe or contaminants spread far and wide, it can be more economical to replace your air ducts, rather than try to repair them.
Our House Pro team will be able to assess your specific needs and walk you through your options. If you have any questions about duct replacement or are ready to schedule your service, we’re happy to assist you!
All components of your heating and cooling system work together to provide healthy conditions and efficient comfort. If even one problem pops up, it has the potential to snowball.
AC filters that have gone too long without a change can cause dust to buildup in your system, and if the condensate drain line is damaged, moisture can build up in your ducts — meaning mold can too. On the other hand, worn out ducts that let air escape can send your heater into overdrive, wearing the machinery down until it too needs a repair.
It’s important to maintain your heating and cooling units as well as your ductwork to ensure you’re getting the most out of your comfort. House Pro is qualified to help you through all of it!
