The air ducts in your home have a seemingly simple task—help the air to get to the various rooms of your home. However, installing ducts is no simple task. The ductwork has to be just right in order to get air to your home efficiently. Unfortunately, few installers get it right.
If temperatures in your home never seem quite right, it might not be due to a problem in your air conditioner or heater. It could be your air ducts! Find out if you’re in new of a new ducts by reading the guide below and calling a qualified technician.
Reasons to Install New Ducts
There are a few different reasons homeowners decide to replace their air ducts rather than make small repairs.
- Poor Design – One of the major reasons to install a new set of ducts is because the ones you have just don’t do the job properly. The more twists and turns in your ducts, the less efficiently air is delivered into your home. You pay more for heating and cooling, and you’re not as comfortable as you should be. You might decide that redesigning the ductwork is the best option if this is the case in your home.
- Dilapidated Ducts – Eventually, the ductwork might become so dilapidated that a few repairs won’t help. Air ducts have a lifespan like any other piece of equipment, and they might need replacement during your homeownership.
- Mold – Mold growth in the ducts is, unfortunately, rather common. Often, you can have a specialist come in and remove it. However, if you have fiber duct board (rather than sheet metal ducts), it can develop in the material, requiring you to replace the ducts completely to get rid of the contamination.
