Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in Fort Lauderdale

Old, Leaky Ducts in Fort Lauderdale Could Cost You

Ductwork is a key extension of your Fort Lauderdale home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working properly, it delivers plentiful comfort throughout your house.

An average home wastes 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of weakly connected ducts and holes in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your system work more than it needs to and lead to higher home energy bills.

There are several indications that your home has poorly perfoming ducts:

Utility costs are increasing.

Rooms have hot/cold spots.

Ductwork runs through an uninsulated area, 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 today’s high-efficiency HVAC systems. Ducts and their related pieces—seams, seals and joists—begin to break down around 15 years. They hit their maximum usability around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the change in temperatures. These changes over the years can cause it to pull apart and allow air to escape. Leaks can hike your heating and cooling expenses and cause poor indoor air quality. Separated 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. Condensation can form during high temperatures, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are several other hints that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is extremely dusty, or allergies are more severe at home.
3.You can’t regulate the temperature in specific rooms.
4.You can see ducts that are crushed.
5.You smell a strong mildew scent when your HVAC unit is running.

Having Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning put in new ductwork can make your home more comfortable—and healthier—through superior temperature control 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 leak up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Cracks in your air ducts can further complicate, diminishing efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also bring in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that are supposed to be discharged outdoors. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces create harmless amounts of CO during normal use.

Trust 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 bills. A sealed and insulated duct system is also essential when you’re adding a new HVAC system.
