The system of ductwork in your home is like a silent partner in your HVAC system. You probably don\u2019t notice it, it doesn\u2019t call much attention to itself, but it does a lot of the work that needs to be done. All year round, whether your furnace is making hot air or your air conditioner is making cold air, the ducts handle the distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to have your furnace and air conditioner professionally maintained every year. But even if you do that, making sure those systems are as efficient and effective as possible, you might be wasting the hot and cold air they provide. Damaged ductwork causes your utility bills to be excessively high, and your furnace and AC to work too hard. How can you tell if you need duct repair<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Odd Sounds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While a rattling or whistling noise could indicate a problem with your air conditioner or heating system, it can also be the sound of loose, disconnected, torn, or cracked ducts. Either way, you\u2019ll want to have these sounds checked out by an HVAC professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low Airflow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your vents aren\u2019t giving out a strong blast of hot or cold air, but instead a meager trickle, it could indicate that some of the heated or cooled air is being lost through damaged sections of ductwork. You don\u2019t need to heat or cool your attic or between your walls! You need that air to make it to the vents and keep your living areas comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lukewarm Air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another symptom of duct issues that you can feel with a hand to a vent is lukewarm air. If it\u2019s simply not being heated or cooled enough, the issue might be your AC or furnace. But it could also be that the heat or coolness just isn\u2019t making it all the way to the vents, thanks to damaged ducts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uneven Heating and Cooling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If part of your home is perfectly comfortable, but another area never gets to the right temperature, it may be that the section of ductwork that reaches that part of the house is disconnected or damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High Utility Bills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your heating and cooling bills have gone up, it could be because you\u2019re paying to heat and cool air that isn\u2019t effectively getting your home to a comfortable temperature. The heat or AC will keep running, trying to get to the right temp. This can cost you a ton in extra energy, and that extra work puts a lot of strain on your heating and cooling systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs of Infestation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you know you\u2019ve had insect or rodent problems, it\u2019s always a good idea to have your ducts professionally inspected. Those little home invaders love to take up residence in the ducts, and they can do a lot of damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visible Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you can see issues with your ducts, don\u2019t ignore them. Visible problems could be holes, cracks, tears, disconnected sections, kinks, twists, or compressed areas.
