Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in Kingwood

Ductwork Doesn't Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be compatible with modern high-efficiency HVAC technology. Ducts and their related pieces—seams, seals and joists—begin to break down 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 costs and contribute to poor indoor air quality. Separated ducts can bring in and diffuse pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could house some of your ductwork. Moisture can form during high temperatures, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are several 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 regulate the temperature in certain rooms.
4.You can see ducts that are kinked.
5.You smell a strong mold smell when your HVAC unit is on.

Having Finch Air Conditioning & Heating add new ductwork can make your home cozier—and healthier—through improved temperature control and air quality. Plus, it can increase your furnace’s and air conditioner’s efficiency.
Old, Leaky Ducts in Kingwood Could Cost You

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

An average 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 equipment work overtime 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 expenses are increasing.

Rooms feel stuffy.

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

Loose, Uninsulated Ducts Can Drive Up Energy Bills

An inefficient home can waste 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 bring in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that should be discharged outside. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces produce small amounts of CO during regular operation.

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