Common Ductwork Issues
When installed correctly, ductwork is designed to circulate conditioned air throughout your home using a series of strategically placed supply and return vents. However, inferior installation practices and materials can lead to ductwork issues which may have a negative impact on your comfort and health. Common issues include:
- Bad design. The efficiency of your HVAC system is reliant upon the correct sizing and routing of ducts. Too many bends, a circuitous route, or improper materials can all compromise efficiency resulting in a decrease in comfort and an increase in energy costs.
- Collapsed ducts. Collapsed sections of ductwork prevent the flow of air and need to be addressed immediately.
- Improper sealing. Leaky ductwork due to improper sealing techniques or materials results in a loss of conditioned air, while allowing contaminants to enter from unconditioned spaces such as your attic or basement which can lower your indoor air quality.
- Inadequate insulation. Ducts that are insulated poorly or not at all allow for a loss of cool air in the summer and heated air in the winter reducing the overall efficiency of your HVAC system.
Duct Repair In Southside Hampton Roads
Because your ductwork is hidden it can be difficult to identify problems without the necessary tools, diagnostic equipment, and experience. The certified experts at MSCO receive ongoing training to ensure they are up to date with the latest technologies and techniques, and we offer 24/7 Emergency Service that you can count on. The benefits of professional ductwork repair include:
- Enhanced air quality. Leaky ducts account for between 20 and 40 percent of the average homes energy costs. In addition to the loss of conditioned air, polluted air can be drawn in through cracks or areas of disconnection and circulated throughout your indoor air.
- Improved efficiency. As conditioned air is lost your HVAC system will have to work even harder to maintain comfort levels, driving up the cost of energy.
- Increased longevity. As system components work overtime to deliver conditioned air, excessive wear and tear is placed on parts shortening the lifespan of heating and cooling equipment.
