Is Your Duct Work Old and Worn Out?

Your ducts are one of the most important parts of your HVAC system because they are what deliver the conditioned air to your home. When your ducts are older and falling apart this makes it hard to deliver the warm air to heat your home. You should have your ducts cleaned and inspected yearly to make sure they are working at their best. When your ducts are worn out or broken you are wasting tons of money in energy costs because the air is leaking out before it hits the rooms of your house causing your furnace to work harder to heat your home. Ducts have consistent and significant air pressure running through them which sometimes will cause issues with older worn out ducts. You can take a look at your duct work to see if you can find anything wrong with it. Look to make sure they are all in tact and not split open in any areas. Make sure they are not collapsed or caved in. If they are making rattling noises, your joints could be loose and need to be fixed. The air pressure coming out of the registers in your home should be consistent throughout. Bartlett Heating and Air still recommends that you have a professional come out and inspect the ducts fully and be able to fix anything that might be wrong.
