Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in West Palm Beach

Old, Leaky Ducts in West Palm Beach Could Cost You

Ductwork is an essential part of your West Palm Beach home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working properly, it transfers abundant comfort throughout your house.

An average home wastes 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of badly connected ducts and holes in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your equipment work harder and create higher home energy costs.

There are several clues that your home has ducts that need to be repaired or replaced:

Heating and cooling bills are going up.

Rooms have hot/cold spots.

Ductwork runs through an uninsulated space, like an attic, crawl space or garage.

Your HVAC system is excessively noisy.

Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be sufficient for modern high-efficiency HVAC systems. Ducts and their related components—seams, seals and joists—begin to fail around 15 years. They hit their maximum usability around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the year. These changes over the years can cause it to break apart and lose air. Leaks can increase your heating and cooling bills and contribute to poor indoor air quality. Cracked ducts can draw in and diffuse pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could contain some of your ductwork. Water buildup can appear during periods of high humidity, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are a couple of other signs that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is excessively dusty, or allergies are worse at home.
3.You can’t control the temperature in certain areas.
4.You can see ducts that are kinked.
5.You smell a strong musty odor when your HVAC system is on.

Having Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning put in new ductwork can make your home cozier—and healthier—through better temperature management and air quality. Plus, it can boost your furnace’s and air conditioner’s efficiency.
Loose, Uninsulated Ducts Can Drive Up Energy Bills

An inefficient home can waste up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Holes in your air ducts can further compound, reducing efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also bring in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that are supposed to be expelled in open air. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces create small amounts of CO during typical activity.

Turn to the Experts at 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 lower your energy expenses. A sealed and insulated duct system is also critical when you’re putting in a new HVAC system.
