Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in Belleville

Old, Leaky Ducts in Belleville Could Cost You

Ductwork is a key part of your Belleville home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working well, it transfers ample comfort throughout your house.

A normal home loses 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of weakly connected ducts and holes in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your unit work more than it needs to and result in higher home energy bills.

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

Energy costs are increasing.

Rooms feel stuffy.

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

Your HVAC system is too noisy.

Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be sufficient for up-to-date high-efficiency HVAC equipment. Ducts and their related parts—seams, seals and joists—begin to fail around 15 years. They hit 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 drive up your heating and cooling expenses and lead to poor indoor air quality. Compromised ducts can bring in and spread pollen, dust and other impurities.

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

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are a couple of other hints 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 regulate the temperature in specific areas.
4.You can see ducts that are crushed.
5.You smell a strong musty odor when your HVAC unit is heating or cooling.

Having D & K Heating Service Experts put in 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 waste up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Fractures in your air ducts can further compound, diminishing efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also bring in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that should be expelled in open air. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces make small amounts of CO during typical activity.

Depend on the Experts at D & K Heating Service Experts 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 bills. A sealed and insulated duct system is also important when you’re putting in a new HVAC system.
