What Is an Air Duct Assessment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An air duct assessment is an appointment where our team has a chance to inspect the ductwork that attaches to your HVAC system. The goal of our assessment is to make sure that your ductwork is laid out correctly to maximize airflow leading from your HVAC unit into your home. We also want to verify that it is secure and identify any problems we need to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s common for fragile duct material to get damaged over the years. Plus, the layout of the ducts can shift around with time and even develop loose seals as the materials age. When we can identify these problems, we can discuss your options for repairing or upgrading your existing ductwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Concerns With Damaged Ducts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cool air that is escaping before it reaches your home costs you money on your monthly energy bill. When cool air doesn\u2019t make it into your home, the temperature doesn\u2019t lower down as fast as it would otherwise. This leads to your air conditioner staying on longer as it tries to cool your home down against the loss of air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When ductwork is damaged, cool air does not just escape through the holes and broken seals. Dust and dirt are also getting in at the same time. This dust can quickly build up inside your ductwork and wind up blowing throughout your home, ultimately reducing your indoor air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Duct Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So what happens after we identify any damage that needs to be repaired? First, we can clean out your ducts to eliminate buildup from dust and dirt. If the surfaces are particularly dirty, we can also sanitize them. After that, we pressurize the ductwork and identify the holes that need to be repaired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We may have to replace sections of your ductwork or reseal where the joints were connected together. Once your ductwork is completely airtight again, you\u2019ll notice a boost to indoor air quality as well as savings on your monthly energy costs. You should plan to schedule an air duct assessment and related services every three to five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
