Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in Edmonton

Old, Leaky Ducts in Edmonton Could Cost You

Ductwork is a key branch of your Edmonton home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working properly, it delivers plentiful comfort throughout your house.

An average home leaks 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of weakly connected ducts and holes in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your equipment work harder and lead to increased home energy expenses.

There are a couple of clues that your home has poorly perfoming ducts:

Heating and cooling expenses are going up.

Rooms feel stuffy.

Ductwork runs through an uninsulated space, like an attic, crawl space or garage.

Your HVAC system is extremely noisy.

Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be adequate for up-to-date high-efficiency HVAC technology. Ducts and their related pieces—seams, seals and joists—begin to fail around 15 years. They arrive at their maximum usefulness around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the change in temperatures. These movements over the years can cause it to pull apart and lose air. Leaks can drive up your heating and cooling costs and cause poor indoor air quality. Separated ducts can bring in and diffuse pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could contain some of your ductwork. Moisture can occur during the summer, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are a few other signs that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is very dusty, or allergies are bad at home.
3.You can’t regulate the temperature in particular rooms.
4.You can see ducts that are crushed.
5.You smell a strong mildew smell when your HVAC equipment is running.

Having McKinley Heating Service Experts put in new ductwork can make your home more comfortable—and healthier—through improved temperature regulation and air quality. Plus, it can boost your furnace’s and air conditioner’s efficiency.
Loose, Uninsulated Ducts Can Drive Up Energy Bills

An inefficient home can lose up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Holes in your air ducts can further complicate, reducing efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also bring in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that should be released in open air. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces make harmless amounts of CO during typical use.

Turn to the Experts at McKinley Heating Service Experts when you need duct repair. We can seal air ducts and insulate them too. This can keep you more comfortable and possibly lower your heating and cooling expenses. A sealed and insulated duct system is also essential when you’re adding a new HVAC system.
