Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in Oakville

Old, Leaky Ducts in Oakville Could Cost You

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

A typical home loses 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of weakly connected ducts and fractures in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your equipment work harder and result in increased home energy expenses.

There are a couple of clues that your home has underperforming ducts:

Heating and cooling 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 excessively noisy.

Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be sufficient for today’s high-efficiency HVAC equipment. Ducts and their related pieces—seams, seals and joists—begin to fail around 15 years. They hit their maximum usefulness around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the change in temperatures. These changes over the years can cause it to separate and leak. Leaks can drive up your energy expenses and contribute to poor indoor air quality. Compromised ducts can pull in and circulate pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could house some of your ductwork. Moisture can occur during the summer, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are a couple of other signs that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is excessively dusty, or allergies are more severe at home.
3.You can’t control the temperature in particular sections of your home.
4.You can see ducts that are misshapen.
5.You smell a strong mold smell when your HVAC unit is running.

Having Abbey Air Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning put in new ductwork can make your home more comfortable—and healthier—through superior temperature control and air quality. Plus, it can boost 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. Cracks in your air ducts can further complicate, lowering efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also draw in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that meant to be released outside. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces make small amounts of CO during normal use.

Trust the Experts at Abbey Air 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 costs. A sealed and insulated duct system is also important when you’re adding a new HVAC system.
