What is Ductwork?
The air that ductwork transports from one place to another can be compared to straws (for instance, from your AC blower to the inside of your house). In most cases, ductwork is composed of pre-insulated fiberglass duct board or malleable plastic; however, it can also be made of sheet metal (a pipe made of sheet metal) and insulated after installation.
Common ductwork problems
- The ductwork that is aging may start to break down. Depending on the kind of ductwork in your home, the outer liner will normally start to break down after 10 years or more and the insulation will be removed. If this occurs in an attic with a temperature of more than 100 degrees, the temperature within the home may rise by 10 to 15 degrees, which can result in a 40–60% increase in heating and cooling expenditures. All ductwork that is broken or damaged has to be replaced in order to solve this issue.
- Leaks in the air ducts are the consequence of either the installation failing to adequately protect the ductwork or the failure of existing duct sealants.
- Rodents, like squirrels and rats, can cause damage to the ductwork when, in the sweltering heat of New Jersey, they look for a warm nest. If you have previously dealt with a rodent problem, you might want to check your attic.
A few of the most common reasons for duct issues
The duct-connected cooling and heating systems are designed in such a way that they are hidden and out of our line of sight, so when they require maintenance, we are not aware of it till the air conditioning is really poor.
Both ducted heating systems and air conditioning systems frequently have complications over time. Many of these problems are caused by possums, rats, and other animals. They nibble through the ductwork in search of a magical, secure home, leaving the AC pipes broken in the process. You can feel them or smell the stench even when they aren’t visible.
Possums do enormous and widespread damage. The bulk of AC ducts often need to be replaced. The Edison team of duct repairers at AC & Heating are experts at pinpointing the root causes of these problems and offering fixes.
Other animals, including cats, dogs, and wombats, are also able to nest in the ducts in order to warm themselves, which damages the AC pipes and reduces airflow.
Flooding results significant damage to several ducting systems. When water is allowed to enter the AC ducts, it can stay there for a long time, causing the ducts to contract and eventually get damaged. People occasionally enter the ductwork, causing the ducts to break and sustain damage. It might be challenging to acquire airflow in some parts of the house owing to poor installation or the inability to access the air conditioning vents since they are located far from the heating unit.
The ductwork in your house will get a thorough evaluation by Carrano AC & Heating Repair Edison to determine the scope of repairs needed. 90 percent of ductwork inspection is done visually. On the other hand, a full examination of the ductwork’s hard-to-see sections is achievable with an infrared camera.
A check of the air balance will also be done by Carrano AC & Heating Repair Edison. Most of the calls we get are from people who have one part of the house that is either too hot or too chilly, which indicates that you should equalize the airflow throughout your home. This may be done by putting in dampers, making adjustments, and employing high-tech tools (such an airflow meter or bolometer) to measure the airflow speed in the impacted area.
