Orange County Duct Repair & Replacement

Forced air systems like furnaces, central Air Conditioning, and heat pumps all require a series of ducts in order to carry airflow through your home. If there is inconsistency in airflow, some rooms get more air than others, or some rooms get no air at all, there could be some existing issues with your duct work.

Common Duct Repair

While it may seem like carrying air throughout your home isn’t a hard task, your ducts can take a serious beating. This is especially true if they weren’t installed correctly. Listed below are some common issues we see:

• Unnecessary turns – There may be many unnecessary turns and bends in your ductwork. If your ducts were not planned out properly, the equipment will have to work harder to push air through.
• Pinches – If you have flexible ductwork in your home, it can become brittle and collapse. This will create a pinch the causes resistance for the airflow.
• Clogs – The ducts in your home can get clogged with debris, dust, dirt, and pet dander. All of this can cause resistance for the airflow.
• Holes – Your ducts can develop holes from a number of things. Rubbing against their braces, insects, and even rodents. Energy Star estimates that all these holes can cause up to 20% of air leakage in your home.

Signs You May Need Duct Repair

Since your ducts are likely not visible, it makes it hard to tell if there are any issues with them. Listed below are some common issues to have concern:

• Noises – Not just the regular noise of air leaving your registers. But whistling, flapping, rumbling, and rattling sounds.
• Inefficiency – If you see that your energy bills have increased without any substantial changes in usage in your appliances, it could mean you have issues with your duct system.
• Insufficient airflow – Are some of your rooms cooling and heating better than others? That is often an indication of a pinch or leaking issue.
