The condition of your duct work and ventilation system contributes to your
energy costs and personal health and comfort levels. Many homeowners tend
to forget about the inner workings of their home. Unfortunately, duct
work falls under this category. Duct work may be out of sight, but it
shouldn’t be out of mind. Dismissing problems with your duct work
could leave you out in the cold. Below are some things to look out for
when it comes to your ducts.
Air Leaks
Ducts move warm air to each room in your home. Leaky duct work could be
to blame for cold rooms and unseasonably high energy bills. In fact, leaky
duct work can waste 10-30% of your heating air costs. Luckily, our NATE
certified technicians can patch things up for you! We have solved duct
and venting problems in the toughest situations.
Unwelcome Guests
Rodents love to burrow themselves in small spaces and make it their home.
When there are large openings in your duct work, it is possible for pests
call your house their home too. Fortunately, we can seal any duct work
and permanently remove these critters from your home.
As the weather cools down, you count on your heating and ventilation system
to keep warm. If you think there is an issue with your duct work, give
us a call at (703) 270-0881 before winter rolls in. After all, it’s
better to be safe and warm than sorry and cold!
Contaminants
Ducts need regular cleaning to remove all types of contaminants that can end up in the air you breathe, including dirt, dust, mold, mildew, pet dander, and more. These contaminants can cause health issues, especially in people who suffer from asthma and other respiratory illnesses.
