Ducts are one of the most important elements of your HVAC setup that determines the efficiency and air quality you're getting but are often overlooked. Ducts in an improper state can cause various unexpected issues and inconveniences.

IMPORTANCE OF DUCT SEALING & WHEN TO DO IT

Duct sealing ensures that your whole HVAC system will work as intended, with proper efficiency. A properly running HVAC won't be able to deliver the best performance with faulty ductwork. Moreover, damaged ducts can lead to various other problems like air leaking, airflow hindrance, dusty indoor air, and a higher electricity bill in general. Ducts get damaged due to continuous and rapid fluctuations of temperature and pressure, which degrades the material integrity. This also depends on how the duct is placed, and the type of material being used. After a certain time, tear and leakage occur in ducts which ruin the efficiency.

Although it's our job to determine if the duct should be repaired or replaced, by detecting some signs, you can determine if you need a duct sealing service. For example:

• Temperature and airflow fluctuation
  Damaged ducts often hinder the airflow, or leaks it into ineffective spaces, which causes fluctuations in the expected airflow or temperature. If you're suddenly experiencing such issues and your HVAC system itself is okay, you might need duct sealing.
• Increased electricity bills
  Again, if your HVAC is working properly, and you're still getting a higher electricity bill, it means the energy consumption is getting higher due to improper ductwork, which is getting lost and you need duct sealing to deal with this.
• Dust and pollutant presence
  Damaged ducts leak air that doesn't go through the filtration systems installed on the opening. This leaked air contains pollutants like dust and pollen, which gets into your room without any trouble even if you have filters installed. So, if you're experiencing a higher amount of pollutants in your indoor air, and if your filter is working fine, it means the duct needs servicing.
• Unexpected humidity level
  If you're experiencing lower humidity even if you have a humidifier installed, or alternatively, if you're experiencing higher moisture levels with a dehumidifier installed, chances are your ducts are the reason for this issue.
