Air ducts do not last forever
I am sure you have heard that it is fantastic practice to update your air filters for your Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system correctly, cheap air filters should be updated at least every 90 days or sooner. More effective filters like HEPA filters may only need to be updated once or twice a year. However, did you know that it may eventually become necessary to update your air ducts entirely? Air ducts should normally be able to last as long as the rest of the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system. However, like the rest of the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system components, air duct seals, joints, as well as seams will eventually deteriorate. When that happens, the loss of heating as well as cooling effectiveness as well as energy efficiency will compound over time. When you’re racking your brain trying to figure out why the airflow is so bad in your Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system, have your air ducts checked if they are quite old, because that might be the culprit. A distinct lack of cooling ability may also be an indicator that your air ducts need to be updated. As you can imagine, if your air ducts are punctured, they become far less efficient! Periodically, it is not so much a problem with the structural Integrity of the air ducts as it is the fact that there might be mold spores growing inside. Who the heck wants to breathe that stuff in. I hope I’ve convinced you to get your air ducts checked. An Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C worker will be able to determine whether or not they can be repaired or if they need to be outright updated.
