Is It Time to Repair or Replace Your HVAC Ductwork?

Are you uncertain if your HVAC system requires repair or just duct sealing? Here are some common signs that may suggest the need for repair or replacement of your ductwork:Do you hear a whistling sound? If you hear a whistling noise coming from your air conditioning system, it could be an indication that there is dirt or damage to the air ducts. Sealing ducts can be tricky, as they are often concealed in walls, attics, basements, and mezzanines, making them hard to access. Are your utility bills unusually high? If you observe that your utility bills are higher than usual, it could be a sign that your ducts are leaking and need to be sealed. Once the ducts are properly sealed, you should experience a decrease in your utility bills and an improvement in your home's energy efficiency. Do you have poor airflow and comfort? If you're not getting enough airflow in certain areas of your home, or if the temperature is not consistent throughout the house, it could be a sign that your ducts need to be sealed. Sealing the ducts will help improve airflow and comfort. If you have already done all the repairs, but the ducts are still leaking, contact Schmidt Mechanical to help you seal the ducts so your home stays comfortable all year round.
