Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in La Porte

Old, Leaky Ducts in La Porte Could Cost You

Ductwork is a vital extension of your La Porte home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working properly, it provides abundant comfort throughout your house.

A typical home leaks 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of weakly connected ducts and fractures in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your unit work harder and result in increased home energy costs.

There are a few signs that your home has ducts that need to be repaired or replaced:

Energy bills are going up.

Rooms feel stuffy.

Ductwork is located in an uninsulated location, like an attic, crawl space or garage.

Your HVAC system is too noisy.

Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be compatible with today’s high-efficiency HVAC technology. Ducts and their related components—seams, seals and joists—begin to deteriorate around 15 years. They arrive at their maximum usability around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the change in temperatures. These shifts over the years can cause it to separate and lose air. Leaks can increase your energy expenses and contribute to poor indoor air quality. Separated ducts can bring in and circulate pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could be where some of your ductwork is located. Moisture can appear during high temperatures, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are a couple of other signs that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is excessively dusty, or allergies are worse at home.
3.You can’t control the temperature in certain rooms.
4.You can see ducts that are kinked.
5.You smell a strong mold odor when your HVAC equipment is on.

Having Finch Air Conditioning & Heating Inc add new ductwork can make your home cozier—and healthier—through improved 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 lose up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Fractures in your air ducts can further complicate, reducing efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also draw in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that should be discharged outdoors. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces produce harmless amounts of CO during regular operation.

Turn to the Experts at Finch Air Conditioning & Heating Inc when you need duct repair. We can seal air ducts and insulate them too. This can keep you more comfortable and possibly reduce your utility expenses. A sealed and insulated duct system is also essential when you’re installing a new HVAC system.
