Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in Charleston

Old, Leaky Ducts in Charleston Could Cost You

Ductwork is an essential part of your Charleston home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working well, it provides plentiful comfort throughout your house.

A typical home wastes 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of weakly connected ducts and holes in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your equipment work harder and create bigger home energy bills.

There are several clues that your home has underperforming ducts:

Energy bills are increasing.

Rooms have temperature swings.

Ductwork is piped through an uninsulated location, like an attic, crawl space or garage.

Your HVAC system is too noisy.

Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be adequate for modern high-efficiency HVAC equipment. Ducts and their related parts—seams, seals and joists—begin to break down around 15 years. They reach their maximum life span around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the change in temperatures. These changes over the years can cause it to break apart and allow air to escape. Leaks can increase your energy expenses and lead to poor indoor air quality. Cracked ducts can pull in and diffuse pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could be where some of your ductwork is located. Moisture can form during periods of high humidity, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are a few other hints that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is very dusty, or allergies are more severe at home.
3.You can’t manage the temperature in particular sections of your home.
4.You can see ducts that are kinked.
5.You smell a strong mildew odor when your HVAC equipment is heating or cooling.

Having Pardee Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning install new ductwork can make your home cozier—and healthier—through superior temperature management and air quality. Plus, it can increase your furnace’s and air conditioner’s efficiency.
Loose, Uninsulated Ducts Can Drive Up Energy Bills

An inefficient home can lose up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Fractures in your air ducts can further compound, reducing efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also draw in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that meant to be expelled outdoors. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces make non-toxic amounts of CO during normal use.

Depend on the Experts at Pardee Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning when you need duct repair. We can seal air ducts and insulate them too. This can keep you more comfortable and possibly lower your utility bills. A sealed and insulated duct system is also important when you’re installing a new HVAC system.
