Air duct
The air ducts in your home are a freeway delivering conditioned air and comfort to every room. When your air ducts are tightly sealed and properly maintained, the air flows smoothly. When they are clogged and dirty, problems can occur.
At Unitechs Inc., we redefine comfort. We look for ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency. Our team of professionals focuses on the temperature, on the indoor air quality, and the humidity levels. We install top-of-the-line products and deliver the best service possible whenever we visit your home.
why do Air ducts matter
Is someone in your house coughing and sneezing all the time? Are there rooms in your home that never quite feel comfortable? Are your energy bills always creeping up?
Your air ducts may be responsible.
Poorly maintained air ducts blow dust, debris, and other pollutants into your home, aggravating respiratory problems and even causing illness. They also clog up the airflow, forcing your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment to work that much harder.
Are you good at solving mysteries? When it comes to uncovering problems with the air ducts in your home, a little detective work may be necessary.
Air ducts stay hidden behind your walls, under your floors, and beneath your ceilings. You normally do not see them, so it is easy to forget about them. Yet, a leaky duct can cost you a lot of money, affect your comfort, and compromise your health.
Our team of professionals at Unitechs Inc. knows how to replace your ductwork with minimal disruption to your home.
know your air ducts
The air ducts in your home are a giant labyrinth of hidden tubes that distribute conditioned air from your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to every part of your home. Leaks are the most common problem with air ducts. A tear or even small holes in your ductwork allow energy to seep out—and everything from dust and dirt to bugs and rodents can enter to contaminate your system.
Leaky ductwork can account for a 25 to 40 percent heating and cooling energy loss, according to the US Department of Energy (DOE). Imagine how much harder your system must work to compensate for that loss. Now imagine how much extra money you spend because of those leaks.
Six signs you should replace your ductwork
With every piece of HVAC equipment, there comes a time when replacement is cheaper and more practical than having to constantly fix it. Here are some signs your ductwork is ready for replacement:
1. The Age of Your Ductwork
The ductwork in your home, depending on the material, will typically last between 10 and 20 years before it starts to deteriorate and fall apart.
2. High Energy Bills
Your heating and cooling equipment typically account for almost half your energy bill. A struggling HVAC system drives up your energy bills and poses the risk of a costly repair.
3. Strange Noises
A constant rattling noise coming from your ductwork whenever your HVAC system turns on tells you something is wrong and needs to be addressed.
4. Fluctuating Temperatures
If some rooms or areas are constantly cooler or warmer than the rest of your home, that could be a sign there are leaks in your ductwork.
5. Debris Forming Around Your Vents
If enough dirt, dust, and debris accumulate inside your ductwork, eventually you will see small dirt marks around your vents.
6. Pest Problems
Bugs and even rodents can easily slip through small holes in your ductwork, where they can populate and create sanitary problems for you and cause damage to your HVAC system.
