Signs Your Air Ducts Need to be Replaced
When you think about your HVAC systems, you might not think about the air ducts as much as you do your heating and cooling units. However, the air ducts play an important role in keeping your property comfortable and safe. That’s why when they need to be replaced, it’s important to contact a professional as soon as you notice any of the following signs:
- Aging ducts, especially if your property is older than 50 years. Older ducts can have leaks, which can increase the chances of having asbestos.
- Cracks in the ducts. These can lead to wasted energy and can increase your utility costs.
- An excess of humidity in the air. This can lead to mold growth and affect your indoor air quality.
Symptoms that Signal Your Ducts Need Professional Repairs
Is it time to call a professional to repair your air ducts? The following signs can signal you need to have them inspected:
- Your property is stuffy and humid.
- An increase in your energy bills. This can indicate a leak in the air ducts, as damaged ducts can lose up to 30 percent of air flowing through them.
- Uneven heating or cooling -- or hot and cold spots -- throughout your property. This can signal an issue that should be inspected by a professional.
