How Do You Know When It's Time to Repair or Even Replace Your Air Ducts?


While looking at your air ducts is not something that requires constant or even daily attention, you do need to bear in mind that these are a vital part to your home and the air quality in the home. Just as with every other part of your home, you need to regularly keep up with maintenance and examine things to make sure everything is free from damage and that things are working at their peak.

While your ducts are typically extremely durable, they may get damaged over time from a number of things. This could be from wear and tear and you wouldn't like to see that you need to make repairs right in the middle of winter or the summer. Here are some things to watch out for.

Decreased Air Quality If there are holes or other tears in your air ducts, you will notice that the quality of air in your home is not as good as it once was. This could be from allergens and dust getting into these gaps or holes causing you to breathe this stuff in. These allergens can circulate through the home and this can cause allergies and can cause asthma in some cases.

Energy Bills Increase If you start getting electricity bills that are just way too high, you may want to consider looking at your air ducts. This is a good indication that there is a problem with the air duct system, and if you are not experienced, calling in the professionals will be the ideal method to help get them repaired the right way.

Poor Air Performance If you notice that your air duct system is not performing as well as it once was, this is yet another indication that you need to consider getting your system checked out. If you notice that rooms in the home are not staying as warm or as cool as they should be, this also could indicate a minor or even more severe issue with your duct system that you should get checked out.

By keeping up with regular checking and maintenance of your air duct system you can save money and you can also save a lot of time. You won't have to get professionals involved and you can nip any small issues before they even begin showing their ugly faces in your home. Preventative measures help reduce major problems down the road.
