HVAC Ductwork Austin
Homeowners everywhere know that home heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems don’t last forever; furnaces and air conditioners need to be replaced approximately every 15 years or so. But many homeowners don’t realize that the HVAC ductwork that is a part of home heating and cooling systems sometimes needs attention, too. Though the ductwork is essential to maintaining consistent airflow and proper ventilation throughout a home, it is often forgotten; but sometimes it needs to be repaired or even replaced.
So, how will a homeowner know when it’s time to replace the ductwork within his or her HVAC system? Read on for a few signs or symptoms of this problem.
Inadequate airflow is a major sign that there could be an issue with the HVAC ductwork. Airflow from the vents inside a home that isn’t as strong as it used to be may be a sign that it is dirty or damaged. If this is the case, the performance of the heating and cooling system will be poor–the efficiency will decrease, negatively impacting both the homeowner’s comfort level and the cost to maintain it. A knowledgeable HVAC maintenance technician can investigate the cause of poor airflow through your system.
The age of the system’s ductwork might also be an issue. Air ducts typically last for 10 years, and sometimes up to 15 years, when properly maintained. During the life of the ducting, the seals and seams suffer some deterioration, especially in humid climates. Old ductwork might need to be replaced by a professional HVAC installation company to avoid poor HVAC system performance including an overuse of energy that will result in personal discomfort and higher utility bills.
Noisy home HVAC systems are a cause for concern. Sometimes noises occur due to damaged ductwork–it could be clogged or have leaks. Hearing strange sounds while the heat or air conditioning is operating is sometimes an indication of a problem somewhere within the system. If defective or damaged ductwork is the cause of a noisy system, the issue should be diagnosed by a competent HVAC maintenance and installation technician, so the homeowner can decide if it needs to be repaired or replaced.
Improper installation might be the cause of problems with a home heating and cooling system. If the ductwork is not installed correctly, it can cause hot and cold spots in various rooms of a home. This means it will be extremely difficult to maintain the desired temperature in the home because of the loss of energy from poor layout and/or sealing of ductwork; it needs to be assessed by a professional from a reputable HVAC maintenance and installation company.
