Decatur Duct Repair & Redesign
No More Hot & Cold Zones, Dust, or Energy Waste!
Signs that duct repair and redesign may be a great idea for your home:
- You experience hot and cool zones, or rooms, on the same thermostat
- Your return vents are not as numerous as supply vents
- The home has excess dust
- The heating and AC systems just run and run in an attempt to maintain comfort
- Your system cycles on and off repeatedly.
Consider these facts and figures that apply to your home:
- Statistics from the U.S. Dept of Energy state that the average American home wastes 30% of its AC and heat through duct leakage!
- Said another way, about 1/3rd of your AC and furnace capacity is never utilized to heat and cool your home (if your home is average). Conditioned air exits through duct leaks before reaching the living spaces.
- Take a guess at the amount of your monthly utility bills that is dedicated to heating and cooling your home. Now, take 30% of that figure. You start to see how important duct repair and redesign really is.
- In a new construction, residential HVAC crew, the lowest paid guy is the person installing ducts. It’s entry-level work, easily prone to neglect. Odds are, they messed up your ducts somewhere.
- In summer, the hottest area of your home is the apex of your attic. Despite this fact, HVAC guys like to suspend your fragile duct system right under the roof deck, where it’s 140 degrees or more. Does that sound like poor design to you?
- Speaking of design, for every 90-degree bend in a duct, it’s equal to adding another 10 feet to duct length, and has a negative, detrimental effect on airflow through that pipe to your ceiling vent.
