Your Ducts May Need Help Before Winter!

Monday, October 7th, 2024

With the winter weather ahead and the temperatures already cooling down, you’re probably thinking about preparing your heating system for the change in seasons. Good idea! Arranging for regular heating maintenance in the fall is one of the best ways to ensure comfort, energy savings, and reliable performance from your heater.

But don’t forget about the ductwork in your home. It’s easy to dismiss this hidden network of air channels, but if you have leaky air ducts in your house, it can add up to a host of problems. These include energy waste, extra wear and tear on the heater, and a drop in your indoor air quality.

We’ll look into why it’s a good idea to have air duct testing and air duct sealing in Mobile, AL before the winter if you haven’t had these jobs done in a long time.

Don’t Ignore the Importance of the Ducts of Your AC System!

Monday, September 9th, 2024

When you can’t see something in your home, you’re less likely to think about it often. That’s just how the human mind works.

For example, the ductwork in your house. Most modern homes are built with central heating and air, and this requires having a network of ducts made from materials such as metal, plastic, and ductboard, weaving through the walls and attic of the house to distribute air. You can’t see these ducts, so you might not think about just how important they are.

If those ducts aren’t in good condition, it can mean troubles like high energy bills, poor indoor air quality, and the need for AC repair—or even a full air conditioning system replacement. We’re going to look at the negative effects you may run into if you have faulty or damaged ducts in your home.

Does Your HVAC System Have Duct Leaks?

Monday, June 17th, 2024

Your HVAC system is more than the air conditioner and heater. It also includes the ductwork that transports air to and from the heating and cooling system, circulating air through the rooms of the house. It’s easy to take this ductwork for granted because most of it remains out of sight. But if the ducts have leaks and gapping, they can create major problems for your home, including wasted energy, reduced comfort, and even poor indoor air quality.

How to Tell You Need Your Home’s Ducts Sealed

Monday, May 20th, 2024

Do you like the ductwork in your home? That’s probably not an easy question to answer, because you don’t often think about your ducts. They’re not part of the decor and you can’t see most of them. If there’s air coming from the vents when you turn on the HVAC system then the ducts are probably … fine?

The truth is, they may be far from fine and you’re not even aware of it. Air leaks in ducts are common, and they can cause plenty of problems. Fixing them requires calling for HVAC pros like our team to schedule duct services in Fort Walton Beach, FL. We can discover if the ventilation system has air leaks, and then use special duct sealing techniques to restore their original airtightness.

(No, duct tape is not the answer. Despite the name, duct tape isn’t actually useful on ducts. Plus, you can’t easily find the leaks on your own.)
