The Importance of Duct Repair

You probably give quite a bit of thought and effort to maintaining the health of your climate control systems. Do you give as much effort to keeping your ducts in good shape, though? The ducts in a home are just as important for keeping a climate control system in good condition as anything else. If you neglect them, you make things so much worse than they would otherwise need to be. Read on to find out more about duct repair, and why it’s necessary.

Duct Leaks

Ducts are very susceptible to leaks, no matter what they’re made of. Whether it’s mistakes made during installation, animal activity, or just years of flexing with the temperature of the air, ducts are liable to develop leaks very easily. Individual duct leaks are not so bad, mainly because they’re small. Duct leaks are hardly ever isolated, though, and their cumulative effects are quite problematic.  The US Department of Energy has found that duct leaks are responsible for output losses of almost 30% in the average forced air system. That’s an immense amount of output lost, which you are still paying for. The system has to stay on for longer to compensate for the loss, and that saddles you with a higher bill. The best way to stop this is with duct repair.

Duct Repair

There are a wide range of different methods used to repair ducts. Sometimes, replacement is the only option. Most of the time, though, some mastic and duct tape is sufficient to seal the leak and restore that lost output. Of course, you shouldn’t be crawling around in your walls trying to repair your own ducts. Be sure to call a professional to take care of them for you.
