Ductwork is a vital part of our heating and air system that evenly distributes air throughout your home. If it is not sealed properly, you can lose a significant amount of comfort as well as experience rising power bills.
“In a typical house, however, about 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts,” says EnergyStar.gov. “The result is higher utility bills and difficulty keeping the house comfortable, no matter how the thermostat is set.”
Below are signs that you may be experiencing issues with your ductwork:
- You find kinks or tangled ducts in your system.
- Your utility bills are unusually high in the summer or winter months.
- You have rooms that you can never get comfortable no matter what you do.
- You have ducts that are located in the basement, attic or crawlspace.
