Monday, August 5th, 2024

The ducts in your house are a key part of the HVAC system: you don’t get any circulation of air or heated or cooled air sent to the rooms without it. Unfortunately, the ducts can sustain damage from corrosion, wear, aging, poor installation, vermin and insects, and construction that can create air leaks. In many homes, inefficient ductwork could be costing you money.

But are a few holes in the ductwork a big deal? Yes! It’s a reason we offer duct services in Warner Robins, GA to test and seal ducts. Below we’ll go into why leaky air ducts are a problem that requires a swift professional solution.

Why should you repair leaky air ducts promptly?

Leaky air ducts reduce HVAC efficiency, increase energy bills, and create uneven heating or cooling. They also let dust, allergens, and mold enter your system, which can worsen indoor air quality. Repairing ducts restores comfort, lowers costs, and helps your HVAC system last longer.
