Air duct repairs go hand in hand with air duct cleaning (as you shall see below) and both services can be provided at the same time. Read on to learn more about our residential air duct repair services.
Are your air ducts in good condition?
After installation, most homeowners tend to forget about their air duct systems. Granted, air duct systems are usually tucked away in attics and below floorboards where human contact is rare. However, that be as it may, it is important to pay attention to the condition of your air ducts. After all, these ducts serve as the channels through which air (whether cooled or heated) is circulated around your home.
Because air ducts are delicate systems and are installed in hard-to-reach areas, the best way to find out if yours are in good condition is by seeking the services of reputable air duct technicians such as Air Duct Cleaning Ventura. Our technicians can inspect the air ducts around your home and thereafter provide you with a professional report showing whether you need to have them repaired or not. You never know; various factors such as those detailed below may be wrecking havoc on your air ducts.
Factors that cause air duct damage
Various factors can cause damage to your residential air ducts. These include:
- Pests: Large pests such as rats and raccoons can gain entry into your attics and crawlspaces and proceed to tear or eat your ducting systems.
- Water damage: Water can damage the air ducts in your home causing them to rot. Water can also damage the insulation around the ducting thus limiting its ability to hold heated or cooled air.
- Human action: People moving near air ducts during home inspections, repairs or renovations can damage delicate ducts systems by creating puncture holes or bends that create obstructions to free air flow.
Why you should seek air duct repair services
The main reason why you should seek air duct repair services is so as to protect the integrity of your HVAC system. If your air ducts are damaged, your HVAC system could be performing below par. This means that you could be losing out on valuable cool or hot air.
Damaged air ducts will also cost you money when it comes to air conditioning. This is because holes and punctures in your ducting system will reduce the efficiency of your air conditioner and force it to work overtime to provide your spaces with the required air temperature. This means higher power bills at the end of each month.
Damaged duct systems also pose health hazards to your home. They allow dirt from your crawlspaces or your attic to seep into your HVAC system and pollute your home. Such polluted air (which may even contain droppings from pests) can cause diseases or irritate respiratory systems causing allergic or asthmatic reactions.
What air duct repair entails
At Air Duct Cleaning Ventura, we start off the process by carrying out a vigorous inspection. Our technicians will get into all the nooks and crannies where your air ducts are and check to see if there is any damage. Damaged sections are then repaired by sealing them, replacing damaged sections (ideal for metallic ducts), adding new insulation, removing obstructions or straightening crooked duct lines.
