Ductwork is the unseen hero of your heating and cooling system. It delivers warm or cold air throughout your home. Air leaks in ductwork damage the integrity of the metal coil, which causes cracks to form down its length or at bends. This makes it difficult or impossible for heat exchange to occur, resulting in inferior air distribution and wasted money spent on cooling bills throughout the year.
Ducts can become twisted, obstructed, kinked, or even crushed, and this damage is often not discovered until it’s too late because many homeowners are not frequently inspecting their ducts. Ductwork damage causes air leaks which force your system to work overtime, and this increased exertion will cause mechanical breakdowns before repair or replacement should be expected.
