    Old, Leaky Ducts in Albany Could Cost You

    Ductwork is an essential branch of your Albany home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working properly, it transfers abundant comfort throughout your house.

    An average home leaks 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of weakly connected ducts and cracks in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your system work harder and result in increased home energy bills.

    There are a couple of signs that your home has underperforming ducts:

    1. Energy bills are going up.
    2. Rooms feel stuffy.
    3. Ductwork is located in an uninsulated space, like an attic, crawl space or garage.
    4. Your HVAC system is extremely noisy.

    Roland J. Down Service Experts can help when your home feels miserable.

    Begin by requesting a free consultation with our Experts. We’ll inspect your supply ducts and recommend the best course of action for your home. Whether we recommend replacing or sealing your ductwork, our work is backed by our one-year, 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.*

    Our professionals are NATE certified, which means they’ve received the most important industry standard. This gives them the expertise to get the work done right the first time.

    Ductwork Doesn't Last Forever

    If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be compatible with today’s high-efficiency HVAC equipment. Ducts and their related components—seams, seals and joists—begin to fail around 15 years. They hit their maximum usefulness around 20 to 25 years.

    Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the change in temperatures. These changes over the years can cause it to break apart and leak. Leaks can increase your energy costs and lead to poor indoor air quality. Separated ducts can pull in and circulate pollen, dust and other impurities.

    Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could contain some of your ductwork. Condensation can form during high temperatures, causing rust to eat through the metal.

    5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

    There are a couple of other clues that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
    1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
    2.Your home is extremely dusty, or allergies are bad at home.
    3.You can’t regulate the temperature in particular sections of your home.
    4.You can see ducts that are crushed.
    5.You smell a strong mildew scent when your HVAC equipment is on.
     
    Having Roland J. Down Service Experts install new ductwork can make your home more comfortable—and healthier—through better temperature control 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. Fractures in your air ducts can worsen the issue, diminishing efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

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

    Trust the Experts at Roland J. Down Service Experts when you need duct repair. We can seal air ducts and insulate them too. This can keep you more comfortable and possibly decrease your utility costs. A sealed and insulated duct system is also essential when you’re adding a new HVAC system.
