When to replace ductwork

The town is quiet today with most of the locals out of the area on vacation in other parts. It is one of the most quiet times of the year now in the start of February and it will remain this way up until the end of April. After that, it is going to slowly turn into a madhouse in this town with all of the tourists that come to visit. When summer comes we will once again be focused on staying cool in the house and out on the streets. One thing people should check is the ductwork in the home to make sure it is okay, and that is today’s topic. HVAC ductwork is an integral part of a home’s heating and cooling system and it is important to replace it when necessary to ensure proper functioning and energy efficiency. Some signs that indicate it may be time to replace your ductwork include: visible damage or corrosion, poor airflow, and noticeable differences in temperature between rooms. Additionally, if your home is over 20 years old, it is likely that the ductwork has degraded and needs to be replaced. Another factor to consider is the efficiency of your HVAC system. If you notice an increase in your energy bills, it may be due to outdated ductwork that is not properly sealing and allowing air to leak out. Replacing the ductwork can improve the efficiency of your HVAC system, potentially reducing your energy costs. It is important to have your ductwork inspected by a professional HVAC technician who can assess the condition and recommend a replacement if necessary.
