Summer is just around the corner, and with it comes increased cooling costs. The last thing you need is to see your hard earned money pointlessly slipping through leaks in your ductwork. Leaking air ducts create inefficiency by causing your A/C system to work overtime in order to keep up with the demand for cooling your rooms. When your HVAC system starts working harder, it will eventually lead to early wear and tear that will lead to a shortened lifecycle. While summer mo
nths here in the Texas panhandle can be uncomfortably hot, you don’t have to be if you have a qualified HVAC professional come and inspect your home’s ductwork.
How do you know if you need to have your ducts sealed? The easiest way to find out is to schedule an inspection. The technician should be able to determine uneven differences in room temperatures throughout your home, and determine where the gaps are within the ductwork.
After a thorough inspection of your system, the technician will give you a detailed explanation on how they can provide sealing of your ductwork.
Proper duct sealing helps your home become energy efficient, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars. You can rest easy in your home with improved comfort, and enhanced air quality through the reduction of dust and other aggravating pollutants. Most importantly you can feel safe that your sealed system will reduce the potential of a life-threatening gas like carbon monoxide to backdraft into your living space.
