A Leaky Air Duct System Can Result in Decreased Air Flow, Higher Utility Bills and Poor Indoor Air Quality

Have you ever noticed your heating and cooling system runs all day but your home never reaches the desired temperature? Or there is always one room that doesn’t get enough air flow? Or perhaps you’ve noticed dust on the furniture shortly after dusting? If so your home could be suffering from a leaky air duct system.

US Environmental Protection Agency studies report that correcting leaky air ducts offers the most significant potential for energy savings. Duct leakage can cause, or contribute to, a variety of other problems. In homes with forced-air systems, conditioned air is distributed throughout the house by air ducts. These ducts almost always have some leaks, sometimes rather large leaks and are often disconnected, especially in homes that are older than 10 years. Ductwork deteriorates over time and can be crushed, torn, or damaged by rodents or servicemen working in the attic. As air escapes into areas like attics, crawl spaces, or outdoors, energy and money is wasted and the air flow is uneven, leaving some rooms with virtually no heat or air conditioning.

More importantly, a leaky air duct system can inhale whatever pollutants are present, and circulate them into the home. Typical pollutants include dust, bacteria, insulation particles, insect debris and many other contaminants. This can cause many health problems, especially for those that suffer from allergies or asthma.

By replacing older or damaged air ducts with new high efficiency energy saving flexible ducting, the homeowner can improve indoor air quality, reduce utility costs and get more even air flow to all rooms. A complete duct replacement consists of removing all of the older ducting and replacing each section from the furnace to all the rooms in the home. An average size home can be completed in one day and energy savings from replacing the ductwork can be substantial.
