Along with the heat making things uncomfortable, the summer season tends to have a big impact on your home’s energy efficiency. In order to keep your home running smoothly, experts in refrigeration equipment services suggest starting with your home’s air ducts.
The job of your home’s AC unit is to regulate the air, but it then has to rely on the air ducts to ensure the regulated air is properly distributed to key areas in your home. Any problem with the ducts will result in a waste of regulated air (plus the energy used by the HVAC system). Also, the indoor temperature won’t remain constant, which will make staying indoors uncomfortable.
When checking the ducts, HVAC companies usually prioritize one thing: looking for obstructions in your air ducts. Over time, airborne particles and debris inside your home will accumulate in various parts of the air ducts’ inner lining and the grilles covering the outlets. This reduces airflow, which results in inefficient air distribution.
Leaks in the air ducts don’t just reduce the amount of regulated air that goes into a room; they can also create problems in other areas. For example, cool, regulated air leaking into your ceiling can cause condensation, which leads to moisture-related problems ranging from water spots to rot and rust. These holes must be detected and sealed as soon as possible.
While getting rid of obstructions near the vents is easy, advanced issues such as leaks or blockages in deeper parts of the air ducts require considerable skill to address, as well as the right equipment. This is why we recommend having maintenance done by certified experts who can also perform additional maintenance tasks like checking the unit itself to see if you need new HVAC filter products.
