Air Duct
Replacement Service
Sometimes adding an
additional supply or return duct will improve
the air flow and temperature in that bedroom.
Sometimes air duct cleaning is not effective
because the ductwork is too old or damaged to be
cleaned.
Have you ever noticed
your heating and cooling system runs all day but
your home never reaches the desired temperature?
Or there is always one room that doesn’t get
enough air flow? If so your home could be
suffering from a leaky air duct system.
US Environmental Protection Agency studies
report that correcting leaky air ducts offers
the most significant potential for energy
savings. Duct leakage can cause, or contribute
to, a variety of other problems. In homes with
forced-air systems, conditioned air is
distributed throughout the house by air ducts.
These ducts almost always have some leaks,
sometimes rather large leaks and are often
disconnected, especially in homes that are older
than 10 years. Ductwork deteriorates over time
and can be crushed, torn, or damaged by rodents
or servicemen working in the attic. As air
escapes into areas like attics, crawl spaces, or
outdoors, energy and money is wasted and the air
flow is uneven, leaving some rooms with
virtually no heat or air conditioning.
More importantly, a leaky air duct system can
inhale whatever pollutants are present in the
attic crawl space, and circulate them into the
home. Typical pollutants include dust, bacteria,
insulation particles, insect debris and many
other contaminants. This can cause many health
problems, especially for those that suffer from
allergies or asthma.
By replacing older or damaged air ducts with new
high efficiency energy saving flexible ducting,
the homeowner can improve indoor air quality,
reduce utility costs and get more even air flow
to all rooms. A complete duct replacement
consists of removing all of the older ducting
and replacing each section from the furnace to
all the rooms in the home. An average size home
can be completed in one day and energy savings
from replacing the ductwork can be substantial.
