Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in Longmont

Old, Leaky Ducts in Longmont Could Cost You

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

A normal home wastes 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of poorly connected ducts and fractures in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your system work overtime and create increased home energy expenses.

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

Energy costs are going up.

Rooms have temperature swings.

Ductwork runs through an uninsulated space, 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 technology. Ducts and their related components—seams, seals and joists—begin to break down around 15 years. They hit their maximum usefulness around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the seasons. These shifts over the years can cause it to break apart and allow air to escape. Leaks can hike your utility expenses and cause poor indoor air quality. Compromised ducts can bring in and spread pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could contain some of your ductwork. Condensation can occur during the summer, 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 very dusty, or allergies are bad at home.
3.You can’t manage the temperature in certain areas.
4.You can see ducts that are crushed.
5.You smell a strong mold odor when your HVAC unit is running.

Having Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning add new ductwork can make your home more comfortable—and healthier—through improved temperature regulation 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 waste up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Cracks in your air ducts can worsen the issue, lowering efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also bring in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that are supposed to be discharged in open air. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces make harmless amounts of CO during typical operation.

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 decrease your utility bills. A sealed and insulated duct system is also important when you’re installing a new HVAC system.
