Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in Gainesville

Old, Leaky Ducts in Gainesville Could Cost You

Ductwork is a key extension of your Gainesville home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working well, it delivers plentiful comfort throughout your house.

An average home wastes 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of badly connected ducts and fractures in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your equipment work harder and lead to higher home energy costs.

There are several signs that your home has underperforming ducts:

Utility costs are going up.

Rooms have hot/cold spots.

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

Your HVAC system is extremely noisy.

Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be sufficient for today’s high-efficiency HVAC systems. Ducts and their related parts—seams, seals and joists—begin to deteriorate around 15 years. They hit their maximum life span around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the change in temperatures. These changes over the years can cause it to break apart and leak. Leaks can drive up your heating and cooling bills and cause poor indoor air quality. Cracked ducts can pull in and spread pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could be where some of your ductwork is located. Water buildup can form during high temperatures, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are several other clues that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is extremely dusty, or allergies are worse at home.
3.You can’t manage the temperature in particular sections of your home.
4.You can see ducts that are kinked.
5.You smell a strong mildew scent when your HVAC system is running.

Having Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning add new ductwork can make your home cozier—and healthier—through superior temperature management 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 leak up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Fractures in your air ducts can further complicate, lowering efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also bring in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that meant to be released outside. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces produce non-toxic amounts of CO during regular use.

Depend on 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 reduce your heating and cooling expenses. A sealed and insulated duct system is also essential when you’re adding a new HVAC system.
