Is It Time for an AC Duct Repair?

Did you know that the condition of the ductwork inside of your home has a direct impact on the quality of the air you'll be breathing in while in your home? Air ducts are a critical component of your HVAC system as they are the vents that carry the hot or cool air through your home. If these are neglected, your HVAC system won't run efficiently and could cause further problems. The quality of your air will decrease and more wear and tear could occur on your HVAC. 

There are some signs to watch out for indicating you need AC duct repairs including:

• Dusty Vents- If your air vents are covered in dust, this is a clear sign you may be in need of AC duct repairs.
• Strange Noises - If you notice popping, banging, or booming sounds when you turn on your AC, there is most likely an issue with your ductwork. Excess air pressure, poorly fitted ducts, and more are all issues that can occur. 
• Poor Air Flow- Reduced airflow with your AC unit could be due to a crack, tear, or broken seal within the ductwork. Essentially less air is reaching the vent and getting pushed out.
• Moldy Smells- Mold will grow where there is excess moisture and humidity. When you turn on your AC unit and notice a moldy odor, it could be due to poorly insulated ductwork or a leak in the ductwork. 
• Differences in Temperature- If you notice different temperatures throughout your home, it could be due to clogged ducts, an air leak, and other factors. 
• Higher Energy Bill- When you notice a spike in your energy, take a look at your HVAC and ductwork system as an issue here could be driving up the cost.
