Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in Calgary

Old, Leaky Ducts in Calgary Could Cost You

Ductwork is a key extension of your Calgary home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working properly, it provides ample comfort throughout your house.

A normal home wastes 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of badly connected ducts and cracks in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your equipment work harder and result in higher home energy expenses.

There are several clues that your home has underperforming ducts:

Energy costs are increasing.

Rooms feel stuffy.

Ductwork is piped through an uninsulated space, like an attic, crawl space or garage.

Your HVAC system is extremely noisy.

Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be compatible with up-to-date high-efficiency HVAC systems. Ducts and their related parts—seams, seals and joists—begin to break down around 15 years. They hit their maximum usability around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the seasons. These movements over the years can cause it to break apart and leak. Leaks can drive up your utility bills and contribute to poor indoor air quality. Cracked ducts can draw in and circulate pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could be where some of your ductwork is located. Water buildup can appear during the summer, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are a couple of other signs that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is excessively dusty, or allergies are bad at home.
3.You can’t regulate the temperature in specific sections of your home.
4.You can see ducts that are kinked.
5.You smell a strong mold odor when your HVAC equipment is running.

Having A1 Chesney Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning add new ductwork can make your home cozier—and healthier—through improved temperature management and air quality. Plus, it can increase your furnace’s and air conditioner’s efficiency.
Loose, Uninsulated Ducts Can Drive Up Energy Bills

An inefficient home can lose up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Fractures in your air ducts can further complicate, lowering efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also pull in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that meant to be discharged outdoors. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces produce non-toxic amounts of CO during typical activity.

Trust the Experts at A1 Chesney Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning when you need duct repair. We can seal air ducts and insulate them too. This can keep you more comfortable and possibly reduce your heating and cooling bills. A sealed and insulated duct system is also essential when you’re installing a new HVAC system.
