Ductwork Repair & Replacement Services FAQs
What are common ductwork problems?
The ductwork in your home is extremely important. They bring heated or cooled air to each room of your house, which ensures it stays at the right temperature. Unfortunately, ducts are not infallible. Sometimes there are problems. That is why 20%-30% of a home’s air is lost from the ductwork.
Some common ductwork problems include the following.
- Poor connections or installation.
- Location of the ducts.
- Damaged insulation.
- Crushed or destroyed ducts.
Do you have to replace all the ductwork at once?
It depends on the problem with your ducts. If there are just a few sections of the ductwork affected, then an entire replacement may not be necessary. However, if the ductwork is the wrong size or has too much damage, it may need to be completely replaced.
Duct replacement is a more expensive proposition than duct repair. However, replacement will ensure that your ducts are as efficient and effective as possible. So it may cost you less money in the long run.
If you are wondering whether duct repair or duct replacement is right for you, contact an expert at Russell’s Heating & Air Conditioning. Our technicians can help you determine what type of work your ducts need.
How can I improve the performance of my ducts?
Even if your ductwork does not need large repairs, they could still likely use an increase in performance. With most homes losing 20%-30% of air out of their ductwork, clearly, there is room for improvement.
Some ways to make your ductwork more efficient include.
- Sealing ducts, grills, and registers correctly.
- Regularly check the seals on your ductwork.
- Insulate your ducts, especially in unfinished areas of your home.
- Check for blocks or kinks in your air ducts.
If you notice any issues with your ducts, you should call the professionals immediately. They can help fix a small issue before it gets out of hand.
How can homeowners check their ducts?
Regular duct maintenance is important. However, homeowners also play a crucial role. You can check your ductwork for issues, and you should do this regularly. Follow these instructions every time you check your ducts.
- Turn on the HVAC system.
- Make sure all external doors and windows are closed.
- Shut all interior doors.
- Crack open each interior door one by one.
If you notice the interior doors moving, your ductwork may have problems. This is when you should contact professional help.
Can I repair or replace my ductwork myself?
You may find instructions for DIY ductwork repair or replacement. However, we do not recommend this for the general homeowner. Air ducts are just too important to mess up. If they are not repaired or replaced correctly, they can cause big problems for your HVAC system.
A bad ductwork job means a poorly functioning HVAC system. This, in turn, costs you money in energy bills. It’s not worth the risk. Make sure you always have a professional help you with any ductwork repair or replacement services.
