Your duct work is an important part of your HVAC system. It has the job of delivering your conditioned air to the rest of your home to keep you cool or warm. If there is any issue in your duct work it can affect your comfort and your energy bills. Here are three reasons you should have your duct work checked out.
1.Indoor Air Quality– Your indoor air quality is affected by your ducts. You should have them cleaned each year because they will get filled with dust, dander, pollen, ect which circulates through your home agitating your allergies as they do. When the technicians at Bartlett Heating and Air clean your ducts we also inspect them to make sure as little irritants as possible get into the duct system.
2.Efficiency– When you have your duct work checked you are making sure they are in good working order. When the ducts are in tact and working properly your system will run at its best. When the ducts are running at its best your furnace and AC also run smoother making them use less energy and that means less repairs because they are not struggling. This results in lower energy bills and more money for you to save each month.
3.Increased Comfort– If you are having issues with some parts of your home being too warm or too cold your duct work might be the cause. When your duct work is broken, dirty, clogged, or leaking it can’t deliver the conditioned air properly to the rooms in your home. It is estimated that there is about a 20% loss of air through faulty duct work which means you are wasting energy and spending more money to heat and cool your home inefficiently.
The most common issues we find with ducts is that they are broken, kinked, clogged, disconnected, poor design, or that they are not properly sealed at the registers. These issues will cause you to have higher energy bills from the wasted air not getting to all the rooms. It will also lead to you having issues making your home comfortable.
