Common Air Duct Issues

If you're experiencing issues with your air duct, it's not always easy to figure out exactly what the problem might be, especially when many components are involved in the process. To help you understand the different issues that may arise with your home's HVAC, we have outlined some of the most common ones below.

Dust and Dirt

One of the most common causes of air duct issues is a buildup of dust and dirt in the system. Not only does this contribute to bad smells and poor airflow, but it can also lead to mold growth. The first step in solving this issue is to clean your system with specialized equipment to help you get up into those hard-to-reach places. This can typically be done by our professional cleaning service, which will ensure all the dust has been removed from your air ducts.

Undetected Leaks

Another common air duct problem is an undetected leak. These leaks are often found in the duct's joints, seams, or connections. If not fixed, these leaks can lead to air being lost and wasted energy. Our professionals can use infrared technology to find leaks that you cannot see with the naked eye.

Poor Ventilation

If air cannot get into your home, it will not do you any good. Ventilation is important for the health of your family. It can also help with heating and cooling costs. So, if you're experiencing poor ventilation, it could be a sign that you're having air duct issues. In this case, there are two options: hire an HVAC professional or install a new unit yourself. An HVAC professional will take care of all repairs, while installing a new unit yourself may save some money in the long run.

Ventilation is an important function of your home's HVAC system, and if it's not working properly, this could lead to health and safety issues.

Broken HVAC Filters

Filters are one of the most important parts of your HVAC system. They keep the air clean and healthy, and they also help to extend the life of your HVAC system by trapping lint and other debris that can cause damage to the unit. The filters should be replaced at least every three months or more often if you have pets or allergies. If you find that your filter is broken, it could mean any number of problems with your air duct system.
