Common ductwork problems
- The ductwork that’s aging could be beginning to show signs of deterioration. Based on the kind of ductwork you have located in your home, generally between 5 and 10 years, the outer liner is beginning or is about to degrade and the insulation starts to disappear. If this occurs in an attic temperature that is more than 100 degrees, it could mean that your air is between 10 and 15 degrees higher when it enters your home, which could cause an increase in cooling and heating costs between 40 and 60 percent. To fix this issue the affected or broken ductwork needs to be replaced.
- Leaks in air ducts can occur due to duct sealants that are in good condition beginning to fail or the company who put it in place didn’t safeguard the ductwork.
- Rodents, such as rodents and squirrels, could cause damage to ductwork when trying to find an area that is cool in Texas’s hot climate. It’s a good idea to check your attic for rodents in the event of previous rodent issues.
What is Ductwork?
Ductwork is similar in design to straws, it transports air from one area to another (for example from the AC blower to the inside of your home). Ductwork is usually made of pre-insulated fiberglass duct board or malleable plastic. However, it can also be constructed of ductwork made from sheets of metal (a pipe made from sheet metal) that is then wrapped in insulation after it is put in place.
