The Importance of Professional Duct Testing and Sealing
Professional duct testing is a complex process that requires high-end equipment, plus the appropriate training and experience to use and analyze its data. If you’ve never had your ducts tested before, now is as good a time as any to do so. Be on the lookout for these signs that suggest you need duct testing or sealing:
- High Energy Bills: Duct leakage—that is, air loss through your ductwork—can account for up to a third of the air inside your ventilation system. This means while you’re experiencing less comfort, you’re paying more than you should have to.
- Musty Smell from Your Vents: Duct leakage also draws in air from places like your attic and between walls, which can invite a musty odor into the ventilation system.
- A Decline in Airflow: Check the flow of air coming from your room vents. Is one, or a group of vents, sluggish? It can be because your ductwork is damaged and needs sealing or even repair.
It’s important to remember that duct sealing is something that should be done by a trained professional. You can’t simply just slap some duct tape on your ventilation system and call it a day—actually duct tape is not appropriately named and should never be used on your ductwork at all.
Duct Repair and Replacement in West Palm Beach, FL
Since most of your ductwork is hidden from plain sight, it’s hard to tell when it’s damaged. Just as with ducts that need sealing, an air duct in disrepair does give off signs that something is wrong. High energy bills can be the sign of a small breach, like we mentioned, or it can be a loose or broken connection requiring repair.
Other signs that you might need complete or partial duct repair or replacement include:
- Rattling Noises: Loose ductwork will create a rattling noise when the air conditioner cycles on. Some noise can be expected as your ducts flex with temperature fluctuations, but if those noises are getting louder and louder, it’s time to call in a pro.
- Low Airflow: If your ductwork has become noisier and that’s coupled with low airflow coming from any of your vents, there’s a very good chance that you need duct repair.
