Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in Saint Charles

Old, Leaky Ducts in Saint Charles Could Cost You

Ductwork is a key branch of your Saint Charles home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working right, it provides abundant comfort throughout your house.

A normal home leaks 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of poorly connected ducts and holes in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your system work harder and lead to higher home energy expenses.

There are several signs that your home has ducts that need to be repaired or replaced:

Utility expenses are going up.

Rooms feel stuffy.

Ductwork runs through an uninsulated location, like an attic, crawl space or garage.

Your HVAC system is extremely noisy.

Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be compatible with up-to-date high-efficiency HVAC equipment. Ducts and their related pieces—seams, seals and joists—begin to fail around 15 years. They reach their maximum life span around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the year. These changes over the years can cause it to break apart and lose air. Leaks can hike your heating and cooling costs and contribute to poor indoor air quality. Separated ducts can pull in and spread pollen, dust and other impurities.

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

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are a few other signs that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is very dusty, or allergies are more severe at home.
3.You can’t control the temperature in specific rooms.
4.You can see ducts that are crushed.
5.You smell a strong mold odor when your HVAC unit is heating or cooling.

Having Golden Seal Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning install new ductwork can make your home more comfortable—and healthier—through improved temperature regulation and air quality. Plus, it can increase your furnace’s and air conditioner’s efficiency.
Loose, Uninsulated Ducts Can Drive Up Energy Bills

An inefficient home can leak up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Holes in your air ducts can further complicate, diminishing efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also pull in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that are supposed to be expelled outdoors. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces create small amounts of CO during typical use.

Trust the Experts at Golden Seal 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 reduce your utility expenses. A sealed and insulated duct system is also essential when you’re putting in a new HVAC system.
