Probably the part of your HVAC system that’s most taken for granted is your ductwork, and that’s too bad. We depend on our plumbing system to carry fresh water throughout our home, and similarly, your ductwork plays a vital role in moving fresh clear air through your HVAC system and your entire house.
Signs Indicating You May Need New Ductwork
Properly maintained, your ductwork should last 10 to 15 years, but like anything else we use regularly, it will eventually need replacement. In fact, if the ductwork in your home or business is over 15 years old, there’s a very good chance it should be replaced.
Here are a few of the signs indicating the possible need for the installation of new ductwork, or at least some cleaning and repair services.
Plenty of dust
If you’re constantly having to clean up dust throughout your home, that’s a pretty good sign of ductwork that needs to be replaced. Over the years, the ductwork has gotten extremely dirty and is distributing that dirt in the form of dust throughout the house.
Airflow problems
If some parts of your house are warmer or cooler than other parts, that could mean there’s a problem somewhere in your ductwork that’s interfering with the airflow. Our ductwork specialists will be glad to inspect your system to locate the source of the problem and help you decide on either repair or replacement.
A musty smell
Over the years, the combination of humidity, moisture, and accumulated dust and debris create the perfect environment for mold, leading to a musty smell throughout your house. At the very least in this situation, you need a thorough cleaning of your ductwork system.
Allergy issues
If your allergies are flaring up more frequently, the problem may be handled by a thorough cleaning of your ductwork. But if cleaning doesn’t help with the situation, replacement may well be in order.
Higher energy bills
If your energy bills are going up even though your HVAC system seems to be operating normally, the source of the problem could well be old, leaking ductwork that needs to be replaced.
