Air Duct Inspection
Rid Your Ducts of Harmful Pollutants
A bad duct installation can lead to subtle problems with your HVAC system that you may not detect until extensive damage has been done. Have the professionals from AC Today inspect your ducts to make sure you’re not losing valuable energy to a faulty ductwork system.
How Poorly Installed Ducts Cost You
When your ducts are installed, the seams between the ducts are sealed with aluminum tape. Insulation is also used in installing ductwork, to protect the ductwork from the temperature extremes in areas like attics or crawl spaces. When the aluminum tape or insulation is installed incorrectly, it can lead to air leakage, poor air quality, excess humidity and even early failure of your AC system.
Another trait of poorly installed ducts is ducts that are the incorrect size for the home. Often when you hear people complain of uneven temperatures in rooms - for instance one room that cools while another stays stuffy and warm - this is the result of incorrect duct size. When your ducts are the correct size, you avoid these temperature “hot spots in the home.”
When we inspect your ductwork we:
Test the ducts. Ensure that vents and return vents are unobstructed. Check for air leaks in the ducts Verify the ductwork is the proper size. Verify the ductwork is properly insulated. Document any issues that need to be addressed. Advise you on the best steps to take next.
If we find that your ducts are leaking, we’ll develop an action plan to repair the leaks and reseal your ductwork to like-new function. Not only will this afford you better home comfort, but it can also lower your energy bills by as much as 30%!
We’ll also let you know if you need to have your ducts cleaned. Our careful cleaning process will remove built up dust and gunk from inside your ducts, improving your home’s air quality and potentially improving the working efficiency of your AC system.
