How to Know When It’s Time for Air Duct Repair or Replacement

Air ducts are an important part of a central HVAC system. These heating and cooling systems rely on air ducts to evenly distribute the air around the house. However, air ducts can make the home’s heating and cooling system less efficient and even lead to breakdowns if they are damaged. Routine ductwork cleaning and maintenance can go a long way in improving the longevity of the ducts and overall HVAC system. 

This blog post shares signs that indicate it’s time for air duct repair or replacement. Homeowners should be on the lookout for warning signs of faulty air ducts because fixing small problems early on can help to prevent a total system failure. Having clean air ducts also helps to promote good indoor air quality and lowers energy bills.

Common warning signs of damaged air ducts include:

  • Moldy or musty smells 
  • Inconsistent temperatures 
  • Increase in energy bills 
  • Dust in the air

Damaged air ducts may make a lot of strange noises as the air moves through them. Banging around in the walls from faulty air ducts is one of the first warning signs that prompt homeowners to call a professional for help. Homeowners may also notice a sudden increase in energy bills due to a damaged or leaky air duct. 

Leaky air ducts can result in heat loss that drives up energy bills. Monitoring energy usage can help homeowners to pinpoint potential problems. Poor indoor air quality can also be a result of dust and other contaminants in the air ducts recirculating. Too much moisture in the ductwork can even cause mold and mildew to grow.

Homeowners will also like spending less on their monthly utility bills after upgrading to new ductwork. With more efficient heating and cooling also comes lower electricity bills. New ductwork makes it easier for the HVAC to temperature-regulate the household as well. 

Air Duct Repair Methods

In some cases, a professional may be able to repair the air ducts rather than have to replace them. There are a few different methods that professional HVAC technicians can use to fix leaky air ducts. One common method for fixing leaking air ducts is to add duct sealing tape over the leaks. This is a special type of aluminum tape that should not be mistaken for common duct tape. It is designed to be safely used as a sealant for HVAC ductwork. 

There is also another kind of sealant that can be painted on or applied with a caulk gun. When the substance dries, it seals up any leaks. Mastic sealant for air ducts is an effective method for repairing leaks. The best way for homeowners to find out which air duct repair method is best for them is by calling a trusted local HVAC company for an inspection.
