If there is any part of an HVAC system that people don\u2019t give a lot of thought or attention to, it’s ductwork. Air ducts are typically installed in hard-to-access areas such as attics, crawlspaces, and beyond drywall. We wouldn\u2019t expect <\/em>you to think about this component often, but that doesn\u2019t change how important it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your ductwork is what allows the cooled air from your air conditioner and warm air from your furnace or heat pump to get distributed into the various rooms of your home. Dirty or damaged ductwork can lead to a number of problems for your household, which we\u2019ll get into below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Duct Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Homeowners aren\u2019t often aware of this, but professional duct cleaning<\/a> actually has many benefits, to the health of the people in your household as well as to your HVAC system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of your HVAC systems\u2019 lifespans, your ductwork can actually accumulate several pounds of dust and other debris, such as pet hair and dander, allergens, and other contaminants. The frequency of how often you should have duct cleaning done depends on the level of debris that is produced in your home, but our Home Performance Experts can help you determine your home\u2019s specific needs and cleaning schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Aeroseal Duct Sealing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you ask, no, you cannot simply seal up your ducts with store-bought duct tape. This material isn\u2019t aptly named and will grow brittle in just a few months due to the fluctuating temperatures in your ducts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if your ducts aren\u2019t in great shape, you can lose up to 30% of the conditioned air you\u2019re otherwise paying for through ductwork damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
