Whether you’re concerned about poor indoor air quality or uncomfortable temperatures, leaky ducts can cause a wide range of problems in your home. Discover three signs that your Inverness, Florida, home has leaky ducts, and understand what you can do about them.
Your Home Is Constantly Dusty
Does it seem like you dust, mop, and vacuum constantly, yet you always see a thin film of dirt and debris all over your home? You might think this is a signal that you should clean your home more often than you already do, but it’s actually a common sign of leaky ductwork.
When your ducts have excessive leaks, cracks, or holes, cool air doesn’t move directly from the air conditioner through the vents and into the rooms of your home. It also escapes from the cracks of the ductwork, taking accumulated dust and dirt with it. Our trained professionals at Senica Air Conditioning, Inc. can locate leaks and help you get a handle on your dust problem.
Energy Bills Continually Increase
Do your utility bills seem unusually high, even when you take seasonal temperatures into account? This is a sign that your HVAC system is working inefficiently and could mean that cracks in your ductwork are worsening.
In most homes, HVAC systems lose an average of 20 to 30 percent of the energy they generate through leaky ductwork. Our duct technicians can identify and seal cracks, helping you to reduce your energy consumption and save on your monthly utility bill.
Rooms Have Inconsistent Temperatures
Are some rooms in your home regularly hot while others feel overly cool? This signals that your HVAC system isn’t generating adequate cooling power and could be a sign that your ductwork is at fault.
When conditioned air leaks out of your ducts before it has the chance to cool down your home, each room might end up with a different temperature. Instead of letting leaky ducts determine your comfort level, seal your ducts and feel great in your home again.
